The Blaine apparatus is used to determine the neness of cement (and other powdery products) in terms of specic surface in cm2g-1 or m2kg-1 The digital Blaine Permeability AUTOBLAINEPLUS model is manufactured according to specications of the following standards: EN196-6 Methods of testing cement Determination of
neness.
In this test, cement is compressed under conditions dened by standard, taking a certain amount of air through the powder compacted. The resistance to air ow is directly proportional to the neness of grain, as long as the same testing conditions are respected. The determination of specic surface serves to control the uniformity of the milling process in the cement plant, but can also be applied to control the particle size of other powder materials. Automation The operation of AUTOBLAINEPLUS is automatic in as concerns to: Automatic calibration with calculation of the K contant

Test performing: uid aspiration, timing of the fall and Making all calculations, showing the test results in the Automatic storage of all test data results. Validation of the apparatus The AUTOBLAINEPLUS fullls the requirements of validation demanded to the automatic methods for the determination of the renement Blaine, and described in standard ASTM C 204-07, chapter 12. The performance of the AUTOBLAINEPLUS overcomes in accuracy and precision to the manual method, because the errors in the measurements of time are much lower. Calibration of the equipment must be done using a cement surface standard reference, as for example the standard reference material NIST 114q. For optimum results testing should be carried out in a room with controlled temperature.
