BUILDING MATERIAL TESTING

We conduct comprehensive testing of various building materials including aggregates, cement, bricks, steel, and timber. Our testing services verify material quality, strength, durability, and overall performance to ensure compliance with Indian and industry standards.

I) Cement (OPC, PPC & SPC)
• Compressive Strength
• Standard Consistency
• Initial & Final Setting Time
• Fineness (Dry Sieving & Blaine Method)
• Soundness by Le Chatelier
• Density of Cement

II) Aggregate
(a) Coarse Aggregate
• Sieve Analysis (4.75 mm – 80 mm)
• Specific Gravity, Water Absorption
• Flakiness, Elongation Index
• Impact & Crushing Value
• Bulk Density, Stripping Value
• Soundness (Na2SO4, MgSO4)
• Alkali Aggregate Reactivity Tests

(b) Fine Aggregate
• Sieve Analysis (150 µm – 4.75 mm)
• Specific Gravity (Pycnometer Method)
• Water Absorption, Bulking
• Material Finer than 75 Micron

III) Bricks (Clay, Fly Ash, Acid-Resistant)
• Water Absorption
• Compressive Strength
• Efflorescence
• Dimensions (LxWxH)

IV) Paver Blocks
• Compressive Strength
• Water Absorption
• Plan Area & Dimensions

V) Bitumen
• Penetration Value
• Specific Gravity

VI) Concrete
• Compressive Strength of Cubes
• Flexural & Core Compressive Strength

VII) Mechanical Properties of Metals
• Bend & Re-bend
• % Elongation, Mass/meter
• Tensile Strength, Yield Stress
• 0.2% Proof Stress
