VOLUME CHANGE APPARATUS

VOLUME CHANGE APPARATUS

Product Code : MSI 1015

Standards: ASTM C490, IS 4031, BS 1881

Product Overview

The Volume Change Apparatus is designed for determining the volume change, expansion, and shrinkage characteristics of cement concrete specimens. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM C490, IS 4031, and BS 1881, the apparatus provides accurate measurement of dimensional changes in concrete and cement-based materials during curing, storage, and durability studies.

The apparatus consists of a precision mould with effective gauge length, reference pins, a high-accuracy length comparator frame, a stainless steel reference bar, and a sensitive dial gauge. It is widely used in quality control laboratories, research institutions, cement plants, and civil engineering laboratories for evaluating the long-term performance of cementitious materials.
