It is a fine material with spherical particles. Uses include as an additive in composite cements, as a cementitious component in concrete and as a filler in certain types of asphalt. Various test methods are specified in BS and EN Standards and include the determination of moisture content, water requirement, strength, loss-on-ignition, initial setting time, and soundness. These tests are based on those described in BS EN 196. A major requirement for Fly Ash is consistency of fineness.Loss-on-IgnitionThis method is for cement specified in EN 196-2 with an ignition time of 1 hour at 975°C.Muffle FurnaceProduct Code: 83-4170/10, 83-4170/06Product StandardsEN 196-2 (EN 196-21), EN 459-2, EN 13454-2SpecificationsExternal Dimensions L x W x H (mm)545 x 385 x 400Work Chamber DimensionsL x W x H (mm)300 x 200 x 120Internal Volume (ltrs)6.9Max Temperature (°C)1200Power Supply (W)2500Weight (kg)130Product CodeElectrical Supply83-4170/01220-240 V AC, 50 Hz, 1 ph83-4170/06220-240 V AC, 60 Hz, 1 phSpares/Consumables:Thermostat, K-Grade, 370 mm long, diameter 2.5 mm (83-4170/10)Controller (83-4170/11)Heating element/chamber complete (83-4170/12)Refractory brick (83-4170/13)Heating Element for use in 83-4170 (83-4170/14)High Temperature Laboratory Furnace 1600°C (Muffle Furnace Alternative)Product Code: 83-4180/01Product StandardsBS EN 61010-2-010:2014, BS EN 61326-1:2013Features: ±1600°C maximum operating temperature. ±Controller, with single ramp to set-point and process timer. ±3 litre chamber volumes. ±Soft closing parallel action door. ±Silicon carbide heating elements provide long life and are able to withstand the stresses of intermittent operation. ±Have a cast alumina hearth. ±Low thermal mass insulation for high energy efficiency.SpecificationsExternal Dimensions L x W x H (mm)655 x 435 x 610 (905 - door open)Internal Dimensions L x W x H (mm)120 x 120 x 205Internal Volume (ltrs)3Max Temperature (°C)1600ConfigurationBench TopMax Power (W)4500Holding Power (W)2300Weight (kg)42www.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200183Fly AshCementActivity IndexThe activity index is the ratio (in percent) of the compressive strength of standard mortar prisms 40 x 40 x 160 mm, prepared with 75% reference cement and 25% fly ash, to standard mortar prisms prepared with reference cement alone.

Mixers should be powerful enough to ensure that the motor’s speed is not affected by the mix constituents and designed to ensure that the mixer action and blade does not break down individual sand particles and preferably provide automatic mixing cycles. In the USA, ASTM C109 and C190 are the definitive methods for determining compressive and tensile strength. The BS 4550 method using either 70.7 mm or 100 mm cubes has been retained in the UK only for comparative purposes. EN 196-1 is now the definitive method.

The rate of applied loading for flexural testing is to EN 196-1. Load is applied by a weight travelling along the beam at a constant rate, driven by a motor/gearbox. Readings are made by means of a cursor visible through a window in the moving weight. Failure of a specimen triggers a switch mechanism and brings the weight to a halt immediately. To prevent overloading, a sensor is incorporated in the weight and automatically stops the machine at its maximum capacity of 10 kN.
