Automatic Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus
Standards
ASTM C204, AASHTO T153
The Automatic Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus designed for precise measurement of the fineness of cement. It plays a crucial role in quality control by determining the specific surface area of cement particles, which directly impacts the strength and durability of cement. This automated apparatus ensures accurate, repeatable results and enhances efficiency in testing laboratories.
The Automatic Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus measures the fineness of cement based on the air-permeability test conducted on powdered cement. It measures the specific surface area in cm²/g of particles, which is one of the key parameters to ascertain the performance of the material in various concrete mixtures. This apparatus is according to international standards such as ASTM C204, EN 196-6, and BS 4550 for testing the quality of cement internationally.
Key Features of the Automatic Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus
Automated Testing Process: The equipment gives a fully automatic process that comprises calibration, air permeability testing, and computation of the fineness of cement. The process thus eliminates operator error, reduces accuracy, and saves time in high-volume laboratories
Display of Real-Time Data: Equipped with an LCD screen, the device offers real-time feedback as it shows critical data like temperature, constant K, and elapsed time during the testing cycle. The user-friendly interface makes the operation easier and more efficient.
International Standards Compliance: The unit is capable of being compliant with the main international standards such as ASTM C204 and EN 196-6. This makes it a very much-needed tool for all international cement manufacturers and testing facilities
Precise Calibration: It incorporates an auto-calibration mechanism for the determination of the K constant, thus providing exact consistency between tests. The calibration is performed using standard reference materials, like NIST 114q, in which accurate test results are obtained.
Stand alone or PC-connected operation: The instrument is stand-alone; however, it may be connected with a PC for enhanced data management, generation of reports, and laboratory information systems' integration.
Different Versions of the Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus
The Blaine Air Permeability apparatus is available in multiple versions, each suited to different testing needs. The three main versions are:
- Automatic Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus: This version is fully automated, offering the highest level of precision and ease of use. It is ideal for laboratories that require high throughput and minimal operator intervention.
- Motorized Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus: The motorized version automates key aspects of the testing process but still requires some manual operation. It is a good balance between cost and efficiency for most laboratories.
- Manual Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus: This is the most basic version, requiring the operator to manually control the airflow and timing. While it is less expensive, it is also more prone to user error and inconsistencies in the results.
Automatic Blaine Air Permeability apparatus is supplied with:
