The Methylene Blue Test Set is used to determine the presence of harmful clay-like fines in fine aggregates by measuring the Methylene Blue Value.
This test is essential for assessing the suitability of fine aggregates in concrete and asphalt mixtures, as excessive clay content can adversely affect the performance and durability of these materials.
The Methylene Blue Value is determined by titrating a methylene blue solution into a suspension of fine aggregate and water, with the endpoint identified by a distinct color change on filter paper.
The set includes all necessary components for conducting the test in accordance with international standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
The apparatus is suitable for use in both laboratory and field settings, providing flexibility for various testing environments.
