Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement – Premium Construction and Superior Durability

At the core of this Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement is a high-pressure stainless steel boiler vessel, meticulously crafted for longevity and operational stability. The vessel features:

• 154 mm internal diameter

• 400 mm height

• Precision-engineered stainless steel structure

All components that come into contact with water, steam, or heated environments are constructed from 316 stainless steel, ensuring maximum resistance to corrosion and pressure fatigue. These include:

• Pressure vessel and cap

• Capping nuts

• Tubes and connectors

• Pressure transmitter

• Pressure switch

• Safety pop valve

• Air vent valves

• Stainless steel heater

• Cement specimen holder

This heavy-duty construction guarantees long-term reliability and reduces maintenance costs—making it an outstanding investment for laboratories.

Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement – Advanced Capacity and Intelligent Automation

The system includes a precision-built holding rack capable of housing 10 cement specimens simultaneously. Designed for efficiency and accuracy, the apparatus automates every stage of the testing cycle following ASTM C151, removing operator error and increasing productivity.

Smart 7” Touchscreen Monitoring

The autoclave features a 7-inch touchscreen LCD that provides:

• Real-time monitoring of test progress

• Digital control of pressure levels

• Clear display of temperature, time, and safety parameters

• Automatic shutdown when all steps are complete

This allows users to maintain complete oversight while benefiting from a streamlined, user-friendly interface.

Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement – Maximum Safety Architecture

Because pressure testing can pose significant risks, Cantrol has integrated three independent, high-performance safety mechanisms to guarantee operator protection:

Triple Safety System

1. Safety Valve – Prevents excess pressure buildup by releasing steam automatically.

2. Pressure Switch – Shuts down the system if pressure exceeds 10 bar.

3. Software-Controlled Overload Detection – Monitors and regulates pressure between 60–300 psi (4–20 bar) based on ASTM standards.

If pressure reaches dangerous levels exceeding 22 bar, the third safety device—the POP valve—is triggered, preventing equipment damage and ensuring operator safety.

Additionally, all stainless steel tubes and connectors undergo static testing at 60 bar (880 psi) and are fully certified for high-pressure use.

Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement – Complete Package and Software Benefits

The device is supplied with all essential accessories for immediate operation, including:

• Precision wrench

• Heat-resistant O-ring seals (10 pieces)

• High-temperature grease

• Safety gloves

Advanced Software Capabilities

Cantrol’s intelligent software enables:

• Storage of up to 500 test results

• Internal memory plus USB backup

• Real-time pressure-time graphing

• Automated recording of pressure values at every test stage

Why This Autoclave for Soundness of Portland Cement Stands Out

The Cantrol autoclave delivers unmatched advantages, including:

• High-quality materials for maximum durability

• Automated, standardized testing compliant with ASTM C151

• Industry-leading safety systems

• High-capacity specimen chamber

• Smart touchscreen control and data storage

For laboratories seeking the most dependable and high-performance solution for cement soundness testing, this product offers exceptional value and superior engineering.
