Cement Curing Autoclave

The Cement Curing Autoclave simulates pressure and temperature conditions for curing cement samples in accordance with API test procedures. After a specified curing time, set cement cubes are removed for crush testing for determining compressive-strength development.

This model cures two single-cube specimens at a time in the vessel.

An Autoclave pressure vessel is inserted into an automatic temperature-controlled heating jacket and pressurized with a hand-operated hydraulic pump. An automatic bleed-off valve mounted atop the autoclave assembly prevents excessive pressure buildup within the curing vessel. This Autoclave is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital programmable rate set-point temperature controller.
