Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus
The Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus by Pak Standards – Centre for Lab Testing & Equipment is a precision laboratory instrument used to determine the fineness of cement and other powdered materials by measuring their specific surface area using the air permeability method. The apparatus provides accurate and reliable test results for cement quality control, research, and construction material testing applications.
It is widely used in cement laboratories, civil engineering laboratories, research institutes, and quality control departments according to ASTM, BS, and EN testing standards.
Working Principle
The Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus works by passing a measured quantity of air through a compacted cement sample bed. The time required for a fixed volume of air to pass through the sample is measured and used to calculate the specific surface area and fineness of the material.
Finer cement particles create greater resistance to airflow, resulting in longer air passage time and accurate fineness determination.
