Product Code
KBL-E078
Length Comparator
Standards
ASTM C151, ASTM C490
The Length Comparator are used for proper measurement of the changes in length of the cement paste, mortar, and concrete samples. This equipment is constructed to satisfy ASTM and AASHTO requirements, which makes this equipment essential in construction and material testing.
The Length comparator comes with a sensitive indicator mounted on a robust dual post construction frame which also has a precision unit. This stable base is particularly important to provide stability when taking measurements to get accurate results. Movable and stationary anvils are part of the structure and are flame cut to hold reference pins that are fitted into the specimen bars from the casting process. This thoughtful design also helps in getting highly effective and accurate length changes.
Understanding length changes in cementitious materials is crucial for assessing their performance, especially in construction applications where dimensional stability is essential. The Length Comparator is used to provide the data needed to understand the durability of materials and to ensure that they meet the required standards for their use by engineers and researchers.
Besides, the Length Comparator supports other testing equipment such as the Gillmore Apparatus that tests setting times. Collectively, these tools are effective in offering the comprehensive report of cement performance which improves the general quality control mechanisms.
Including the Length Comparator in laboratory environment will help you maintain the reliability of the testing results. It is crucial for any laboratory that deals with cement, since it enables the accurate determination which will in turn enable appropriate choices on the right material to be used in different constructions.
The Length Comparator is an essential tool that can identify length variations when testing cement paste, mortar and concrete. Its measure of accuracy and its compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards is most ideal for incorporation into any quality control laboratory.
Length comparator is supplied with:
- Dial Gauge 0.001-12.7mm
- Reference Rod
