The Le-Chatelier Mould, also known the Le-Chatelier Apparatus, is a precision lab equipment that helps measure the cement expansion. Being a essential test, it serves to identify unwanted impurities such as free lime, magnesia, or sulfates within construction materials in order to secure their stability and durability. Designed to be highly reliable and based on industry standard requirements, this is a must-have for cement laboratory testing and for quality control analysts.
Key Features & Benefits
Accurate Expansion Measurement – Provide exact readings to avoid structural weaknesses in cement.
Premium-Grade Brass Construction – Resists corrosion, provides durability, and supports prolonged laboratory use.
User-Friendly Design – Easy assembly and ease of use for effective testing procedures.
Versatile Testing Applications – Used in a number of cement expansion and quality tests.
Product Specifications
Material: High-quality brass for extended life.
Cylinder Size: 30 mm internal diameter, 30 mm height.
Indicator Stems: Two parallel stems, both 165 mm from the center.
Usage: For cement soundness testing in laboratory settings.
Applications of the Le-Chatelier Mould
This equipment is commonly utilized by:
- Construction Testing Laboratories – Verifying that cement is within quality and safety standards.
- Civil Engineers & Infrastructure Developers – Confirming cement stability for long-term durability.
- Cement Manufacturers – Carrying out quality control tests prior to production and distribution.
- Research & Development Teams – Testing new cement compositions for performance enhancement.
Test Methods Supported
The Le-Chatelier Mould is an integral component of the Le-Chatelier Soundness Test, which determines cement expansion through controlled heating in a water bath. It is also widely supported with:
- Autoclave Test for Soundness– Tests expansion in high-pressure steam conditions.
- Compressive Strength Test– Finds structural strength of cement compositions.
- Vicat Apparatus Test– Tests cement consistency and setting time.
- Blaine Air Permeability Test– Tests cement fineness and particle size distribution.
