BLAINE AIR PERMEABILITY APPARATUS - FULLY AUTOMATIC - PC CONTROLLED -

Compliance Standards

EN 196-6, ASTM C204, BS 4550

Applications

This test method concerns the determination of the particle size of Portland cement, limes and similar powders using the Blaine air permeability apparatus. The measure of fineness is expressed in terms of the specific surface area (the total particle surface area) in square centimeters per gram or square meters per kilogram

This advanced apparatus fulfills both the EN 196-6 requirements and those concerning the validations demanded of the automatic methods by the ASTM C204. The accuracy and precision of results obtained using this apparatus exceed those acquired using the manual method. Calibration of the apparatus must be done using a cement surface standard reference such as the reference material NIST 114q. To obtain the most accurate results, the test should be performed in a temperature-controlled environment.

Features:

1. Time resolution       : 0.01 s
2. Temperature resolution : 0.1 C
3. Real time displaying of temperature, constant K, passing time and other parameters.
4. Up to 5 reference cements as standards in each testing methods EN 196-6 or ASTM C204 up to 20 different types of cement can be memorized.
5. Up to 1000 complete data test can be memorized in a nonvolatile memory.
6. USB 2.0 communication for memorized data export i.e. to Excel Multilanguage

Comprises the following elements:

1. Blain cell made in stainless steel with plunger and perforated disc
2. Support made in stainless steel to keep the cell in vertical position and to facilitate the introduction of the cement specimen
3. Extractor for the permeability cell (to extract the tested cement and the perforated disc)
4. An U-Tube glass manometer is fit to the steel stand. 
5. Rubber aspirator
6. Glass Thermometer
7. 50 ml fill oil
8. 50 ml light grease
9. Filter papers 12.8 mm Dia, 1000 pcs
10. Temperature Sensor
