Soundness Test Bath with Thermostat for Aggregates

Thermostatic stainless steel bath holding sample baskets for sodium or magnesium sulphate soundness cycles on aggregates. Used in quarry and highway labs to assess weathering resistance.

Specification

Aggregate samples in wire baskets are repeatedly immersed in saturated sulphate solution and dried to simulate freeze-thaw type weathering. The bath keeps the solution at 21 +/- 1 deg C for the soak period. It supports durability checks of aggregates used in concrete and bases.
