Cement Autoclave Test Bar Holder for Length Change Testing
The Cement Autoclave Test Bar Holder is an essential accessory for conducting length change tests on cement paste, mortar, and concrete specimens. Designed for use with a Cement Autoclave, this durable holder ensures that test bars are cured under controlled steam pressure and constant temperature, as required by key industry standards.
The holder is engineered to accommodate up to eight 1x1x10in (25x25x254mm) cast specimens in a vertical orientation. This vertical positioning is critical as it suspends the bars safely above the water level inside the autoclave, guaranteeing that all surfaces of each specimen are uniformly exposed to the saturated steam. This consistent exposure is vital for achieving accurate and repeatable test results when determining the soundness and potential for delayed expansion of the cement.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, the holder is built to withstand the harsh, high-pressure, and high-temperature environment of an autoclave. Its sturdy frame ensures specimens remain secure and separated throughout the curing cycle.
Features:
- Holds up to eight standard 1x1x10in test bars
- Ensures uniform exposure of specimens to autoclave steam
