measured in terms of the specific area of cement expressed as total surface area
in square centimeters per gram. The Le Chatelier Specific Gravity Flask is used for determining the apparent
specific gravity of sand, stone, hydraulic cement and slag screenings.
In operation, the apparatus draws a definite volume of air through a prepared bed
of cement.The porosity of the cement, which is a function of the size of the Designed in accordance with industry standards, the flask is supplied complete
cement particles, determines the rate of air flow through the bed. with a glass stopper.
The apparatus consists of a U-tube glass manometer, a ground joint with stainless Specifications
steel test cell, a stop cock, and a rubber bulb.
