Blaine Test, also known as Air permeability test or fineness test for cement, can be conducted using any of Qualitest's QualiPerm Series Blaine test apparatus models. We provide several options, including a manual Blaine apparatus, automatic air permeability test Blaine apparatus variation, and PC-controlled air permeability Blaine test apparatus versions. The Blaine air permeability tester is primarily utilized to measure the fineness of the cement, which can indicate the speed of setting and the rate of strength development. The testing principle relies on the permeability of air through a sample under specific conditions. This instrument is ideal for cement testing, and we offer a variety of Blaine apparatus models tailored to meet the needs of the industry.
Our Blaine Apparatus models meet and exceed ASTM C204, EN 196, DIN 1164 and BS 4550 standard requirements.
Blaine Apparatus – Cement Fineness Air Permeability Tester - Manual QualiPerm IQualiPerm I manual Blaine Apparatus / Cement Fineness Air Permeability Tester is able to perform the Blaine test with a traditional design. This Blaine tester has a manual aspirator to apply the air pressure for test. Qualitest offers this air permeability test apparatus as an alternative to automatic and PC-controlled. It is competitively priced as well as offering the tried and true classical design of a Blaine tester. The manual operation is has proven to be an effective means to carry out the tests. Moreover, the small footprint means that the machine will be the perfect addition to any cement testing facility. |  |
 | Electronic Blaine Apparatus, Semi-Automatic QualiPerm IIThe semi-automatic Blaine air permeability test apparatus QualiPerm II offered by Qualitest has a built-in pump that replaces the aspirator (bulb). The entire test can be run semi-automatically with a greater degree of freedom for the operator than the manual Blaine test apparatus. The automatic time registration is both precise and convenient. This semi-automatic Blaine Apparatus QualiPerm II performs Blaine tests according to ASTM C 204, EN 196, DIN 1164, and BS 4550. These international standards ensure that the Blaine tester can perform to the most stringent standards. |
Part of the maintenance of a Blaine apparatus requires routine calibrations; official calibration and other consumables can be purchased as accessories for this automatic Blaine tester when they are required. The built-in pump replaces the aspirator in this new design. The unit runs at 230V/50Hz or optionally 110V with specified orders.
Electronic Blaine Apparatus – Cement Fineness Air Permeability Tester QualiPerm IIIOperation and software of the QualiPerm III Automatic Blaine Apparatus is similar to the other PC-operated units. The design of the main unit is unique in that the footprint is much smaller than those units and the measuring cell is fully encased in the metal housing. The sleek design allows for the testing unit to be placed conveniently on any atop any bench within your facility. The main unit is housed completely in metal. The load cell is also well-protected. |  |
 | Electronic Blaine Apparatus, Dyckerhoff Method QualiPerm IVElectronic Blaine Apparatus, Dyckerhoff system, QualiPerm IV Semi-Automatic device with pump and time registration for the rapid determination of specimen characteristics. Measuring cell dia.41 mm, volume of measuring cell is approx. 73cm3; 230 V / 50 Hz (optional 110V). |
Automatic Blaine Apparatus – Dyckerhoff Method QualiPerm VQualiPerm V Blaine test apparatus is the next generation of testing apparatus; being fully automated. The test procedure and evaluation is run without the supervision of an operator and is automatic. This system comes complete with software. The measuring cell has a diameter of 41 mm and its volume is approximately 73cm3. The machine runs on at 230 V / 50 Hz or optionally 110V with order. Also available is a system with two-cells giving the ability to measure two points. |  |
 | Automatic Blaine Apparatus -Dyckerhoff Method with 2 measuring cells QualiPerm VIThe difference between the two cement air permeability testers in this series (QualiPerm V and QualiPerm VI) is the number of measuring cells available with which to perform the Blaine test. The QualiPerm V is a PC-controlled Blaine tester model that has one measuring cell and it’s suitable for lower volume testing requirements. The QualiPerm VI PC-controlled Blaine tester is the model that has two test cells and is recommended for Cement testing labs with higher volume of testing requirements to prepare once cell, while the other cell is running the test. Both models perform tests that are monitored and recorded by the computer. |
