Water Retention Apparatus
Water Retention Apparatus is used in specification tests of masonry cement and physical testing of quicklime and hydrated lime.
This test method provides a means for determining the ability of mortars and plasters to retain water under suction. Test results may be used to determine compliance with specifications. The results obtained using this test method can be used to compare the relative ability of mortars and plasters to retain water under suction.
The apparatus complete with: stand, water aspirator, vacuum regulator, vacuum gauge, three-way stopcock, metal perforated dish, glass funnel, rubber gasket, pack of filter paper and erlenmayer the whole assembled on stand.
The vacuum pump with tubing for vacuum are not included and should be ordered separately.
