The Le Chatelier Water Bath is a precision-engineered apparatus designed for determining the soundness of cement by the Le Chatelier method. It provides a controlled and uniform water heating environment for accurate expansion testing of cement specimens, ensuring the quality and stability of cement used in construction.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the water bath is double-walled and insulated to maintain a constant temperature. It is fitted with an immersion heater, thermostat, and digital temperature controller, allowing precise regulation of water temperature up to 100°C. The bath can accommodate Le Chatelier moulds and is equipped with a lid and perforated shelf for specimen support.

Key Features:

• Double-walled stainless steel construction with thermal insulation

• Temperature range up to 100°C with digital temperature control

• Fitted with immersion heater, thermostat, and temperature indicator

• Supplied with perforated shelf and lid for even heating

• Available in different capacities (3 or 6 moulds)

• Conforms to IS: 4031 (Part 3), ASTM C151, and BS standards

Applications:

• Used for soundness testing of cement by the Le Chatelier method

• Ideal for cement testing laboratories and construction quality control units

• Suitable for educational and research laboratories in civil engineering

The Cement Autoclave is a high-precision testing instrument used to determine the soundness and expansion of cement and soil-cement mixtures under accelerated steam and pressure conditions. This equipment helps identify the presence of uncombined lime or magnesia, which may cause undesirable expansion in cement, ensuring long-term durability and quality of construction materials.

Built from heavy-duty stainless steel, the autoclave is designed for safe operation at a pressure of 2.1 MPa (21 kg/cm²). It features a digital temperature and pressure control system, safety valve, and steam release mechanism, offering accurate and consistent test performance in laboratory conditions.

Key Features:

• Heavy-duty stainless-steel pressure chamber with leak-proof lid

• Pressure range up to 21 kg/cm² (2.1 MPa)

• Equipped with digital pressure and temperature indicators

• Includes safety valve, pressure gauge, and steam release valve

• Supplied with a stainless-steel specimen rack

• Durable, corrosion-resistant construction for long service life

• Conforms to IS: 4031 (Part 3), ASTM C151, and BS standards

Applications:

• Determining soundness of cement and soil-cement

• Ideal for cement testing laboratories, civil engineering research centers, and construction quality control

• Suitable for educational institutions and material testing laboratories

Optional Accessories:

• Digital timer and automatic pressure control system

• Water level indicator with overpressure protection
