FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. The Bureau of Indian Standards has formulated a series of standards on different types of cement and methods of tests of cement. As it has-been recognized that reliable and reproducible test results could be obtained only with standard types of testing equipment which are capable of giving the desired level of accuracy, a series of specifications covering the requirements of testing equipment have been brought out to encourage the development and manufacture of standard testing equipment for cement testing in the country. This standard was first brought out in 1969. The present revision has been taken up to incorporate the modifications found necessary in order to align this standard with EN 1966: 1989 Methods of testing cement: Determination of fineness. The major modifications include changes in some dimensions of the apparatus, provision of rubber tube and aspirator bulb in the monometer and recommendation of inscription of a mark on centre position of the perforated disc on one side to ensure correct and uniform p!acing of disc. In this revision;the extent of smoothness ofthe internal wall of the permeability cell has also been defined in addition to making reference to the latest version of the relevant Indian Standard. The Composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at Annex A. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular observed or calculated expressing the result of IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical retained in the rounded off value should be the
requirement of this standard is complied, the final value,
test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with values ( revised ). The number of significant places same as that of the specified value in this standard.
bottom of the cell. The bottom of the cell shall form
an airtight connection with the top of the manometer. The internal walls of the cell shall be smooth, true and vertical with a finish of 0.8 micron. A ledge 0.8 f 0.2 mm in width shall be an integral part of the cell located at a depth shown in Fig. 1 to support the perforated disc. The top of the permeability cell shall be fitted with a protruding collar to facilitate the removal of the cell from the manometer.
This standard covers the requirements of variable flow
type air-permeability apparatus (Blame type) and its accessories used for determination of specific surface of cements, pozzolanas and other powdery materials.
2 REFERENCES The following Indian Standards are necessary adjuncts to this standard IS No.
6.1.1 The bottom end of the ceil shall be flared
downwards from the ledge portion to a length of 3 5 f 1 mm, along the axis if the cell is of the female type or if male type, the wall of the cell be flared upwards from the ledge level to a distance of 45 f 1 mm. The flaring shall be about 5from the axis of the cell. The flaring either of the male type or female type shall ensure an airtight connection with the corresponding part of the manometer limb.

3 MATERIALS
6.2 Perforated
The materials of construction of different component
parts of air-permeability apparatus ( Blame type ) shall be as given in co1 3 of Table 1. Recommended Indian Standards for different materials, where available, are gwen in co1 5 of Table 1.
Disc
The disc shall be constructed of non-corrodiblemetal,
preferably brass or austenitic stainless steel and shall be 0.9 f 0.1 mm in thickness, perforated with 30 to 40 circular holes, each one millimetre in diameter equally distributed over its area and finished smooth. The disc shall be of diameter A - 0.1 mm-and shall tit the inside of the cell snugly and get support on the ledge. The centre portion of one side of the disc should be marked or inscribed in a legible manner so as to permit the operator always to place that side downwards while inserting it into the cell. The marking or inscription shall not extend into any of the holes nor touch their peripheries nor extend that area of the disc that rests on the cell edge. When in position on the ledge in the cell, its plane surfaces shall be normal to the axis-of the cell.
4 DIMENSIONS Dimensions of different component parts of airpermeability apparatus ( Blame type ) shall be as detailed in Pig. 1. 5 WORKINGPRINCIPLE The variable flow type air-permeability a paratus (Blame type) shall consist essentially of a mpeans for drawing a definite uantity of air under a falling pressure head throug 1 a pre ared bed of powder of a definite porosity. The num ge r and size of the pores in a prepared bed of cement of definite porosity is a function of the size of the particles and determine the rate of air flow through the bed.
6.3 Plunger
The plunger shall be of the same material as the cell
ax&hall fit into the cell with a clearance of not more than 0.1 mm. The bottom of the plunger shall sharply meet the lateral surfaces and shall be at right angles to the axis. An air vent shall be provided on one side of the plun er by flattening 3 mm. The top of the plunger slJ lbe provided with a collar such that when the plunger is placed in the cell and the collar brought in contact with the top of the cell, the distance between the bottom of the plunger and the top surface of the perforated disc shall be 15.0 f 1 mm.
6 PARTSAND ACCESSORIES
6.1 Permeability Cell
The permeability cell shall consist of a rigid right cylinder 12.7 l 0.1 mm inside diameter+, constructed of austenitic stainless steel or other abrasion-resisting, non-corroding metal. The top and bottom faces of the cell shall be flat and normal to the axis of the cylinder, as shall the upper surface of the ledge at the 1

of the T-joint shall lead to use airtight stopck at a distance not more than 50 mm from the manometer arm and beyond which shall be attached a suitable aspiration device such as the rubber tube and bulb shown in Fig. 1.
6.4 Filter Paper Discs
The filter paper shall be of medium porosity ( Mean pore diameter 7 micron corresponding to No. 40 Whatman .). The filter paper discs shah be circular, with smooth edges adopted to the dimensions of the cell.
