SOUNDNESS OF BUILDING LIME DETERMINATION
This bath is used for the determination of the soundness of building limes subjected to steam action at atmospheric pressure for 180 minutes time.
The steam bath, all stainless steel made, holds up to 12 Le Chatelier moulds, approx. 50 mm over the water level. Two heating elements of 1200W and 200W reach the water boiling point in 30 minutes; now a timer disconnects the 1200W element, and the water temperature is maintained by the second element, as requested by the Standard.
The cover has a device avoiding the condensed water to drop on the specimens.
