Laboratory Cement Autoclave Apparatus

Laboratory Cement Autoclave – Model 38-3900/01

The ELE Laboratory Cement Autoclave (Code: 38-3900/01) is designed for conducting accelerated soundness tests on Portland cement using the autoclave expansion method in accordance with ASTM C151. Built from high-grade stainless steel, the autoclave ensures reliable and consistent test conditions under high pressure and temperature. A microprocessor-based PID controller offers precise control over pressure via temperature regulation, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

Ideal for cement laboratories and quality control environments, this unit enables users to identify unsound materials through controlled expansion testing—critical for determining long-term durability in cement-based products.
