TECHNICAL DETAIL
For Drying, Shrinkage and Moisture Movement
Ref. Standards IS:4031, IS:9459, ASTM C490 and BS: 1881, EN-1367-4
For determination of change in size of a concrete or cement sample, brought
about by a change in moisture content,
The apparatus can be used for three basic tests:
Initial drying shrinkage
•The difference between the length of the cured specimen and the length when it is dried.
Drying shrinkage
•The difference between the length of the specimen from existing structure and its length when completely dried.
Moisture movement
•The difference between the length of the dried specimen and its length when again saturated with water.
The equipment consist of following replaceable parts :
•Length Comparator Frame
•Reference Bar
