CHEMISTRY LAB
Where the raw materials, semi products and final products are analyzed chemically by reagents. Wet analysis applied according to Kuwait standards which comply with European standards either through classic precipitation procedures or through instrumental analysis by the use of latest version of analytical equipment like:
• Calorimeter [for determination of the heat value for fuels]
• Sulfur determinator [for determination of SO3 in cement & raw materials]
• TGA [for determination of VM and ash content in coal and all alternative fuels]
• Dryers with nitrogen gas flow [for moisture tests]
• Fusion machine [for fused beads] to be analyzed on XRF
• Balances
• Flame photometer [for alkalies (Na & K)]
• Muffle furnaces [for ignitions]
• Hot plates, stirrers and condenserssend analysis of crushed mix piles of limestone every two minutes
PHYSICS LAB
Where all the physical properties of cement produced at cement mills or sold at packing plant are tested. Physical tests are applied according to Kuwait standards which comply with European standards by the use of the following tools and equipment:
• Cement mixer [for mixing the cement paste]
• Jolting machine [for compacting the cement paste in its moulds]
• Humidity cabinet [to keep cement samples specimen in a standard temp & humidity
to the definite time]
• Curing tank [to keep cement specimen in water for its specific age (2, 28 days)
in standard temp &humidity]
• Compressive testing machine [for testing the strength values for cement samples preparedin advance for their specific ages]
• Expansion of cement tested either by le-chatellier procedure (EN Standard) or
by auto clave equipment as per ASTM standard
• Setting time apparatus [for testing initial &final setting time of cement.
