Compliance Standards
- EN 459-2, ASTM C110, ASTM C91, ASTM C5
Applications
- Specifically used to measure the slaking or hydration rate of quicklime (calcium oxide) when it is mixed with water. The slaking process is exothermic, and the apparatus typically measures the temperature rise over time to determine how quickly the lime reacts.
