This apparatus is used to
determine
specific gravity of powdered materials like limes,
slag and hydraulic cement. This flask can be used to find out bulk and
apparent specific gravity of limes, cement, etc. It can also be used to
find absorption of fine aggregates.
Salient Features
- The flask is made from Borosil glass.
- The flask has a total height of 243 mm, having a bulb of diameter
90 mm. Its approximate capacity is 250 ml.
- The long neck of the flask has a funnel at top of diameter 50 mm,
which is fitted with a ground glass stopper.
- Neck of the flask is graduated from 0 to 1 ml and from 18 to 24
ml. The flask is accurate to 0.05 ml.
- The bulk specific gravity is determined on the basis of weight of
saturated surface-dry aggregates.
- Just at the bottom of the neck where 1 ml capacity is marked,
there is a bulb in between of capacity 17 ml.
Applications
