Cement Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus Test

Cement Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus - Cement Fineness Tester

Blaine Apparatus meets ASTM C204 and BS 4359 standards for accurate and reliable measurements. Also meets various BS standards for compliance with British Standards.

The apparatus is used to determine the fineness of Portland Cement by measuring the specific surface expressed as total surface area in square centimeters per gram of testsample. A quantity of air is drawn through a bed of definite porosity and the rate of airflow is determined by the pore volume in the bed, a function of the size of particles. The Blaine Air Permeability Test Equipment is the key to the apparatus, makes testing easy by ensuring proper air flow and sample placement.

The parts of the apparatus are a stainless steel holding test cell, plunger, perforated disc, calibrated U-tube manometer, rubber aspirator and bulb, all mounted on a wooden panel with a base. 8oz bottle of red spirit manometer fluid, filter paper, woodblock for holding test cell during filling.
