Our materials laboratory
Product Development and Research
The PAGEL building materials laboratory
PAGEL has a modern, state-of-the-art building materials laboratory. In addition to mechanical test processes we can also measure the swelling and shrinkage deformation of materials, and much more besides. This considerably aids us in our product development.
Our products are tested for their practical suitability in a climate chamber and in climate cabinets in temperature ranges between -20 °C and +60 °C (-4°F and 140°F resp.).
Test presses
- Compression load: 5.000 kN
- Compressive strength on prism, cube and cylinde
- Flexural strength on prism and bar
- Splitting tensile strength on cylinder
- Static Young's modulus
Temperature tests
- Climate chamber for sample preparation and fresh concrete testing between -10 °C and +50 °C (14°F and 122°F)
- Climate cabinets for sample storage at temperatures between -20°C and +60°C (-4°F and 140°F) and air humidity between 0% and 100%
- Storage of test specimens in water between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F)
Measurement of deformations
Schleibinger shrinkage-cone at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C (41°F and 95°F) for testing the contraction and expansion behaviour.
Complementary tests
- Automatic Blaine value Determination
- Sieve analysis
- Vicat test: initial and final setting time
- Pull-off strength test
- Böhme's abrasion resistance test
- Acoustic analysis of the resonance frequency for non-aggressive testing of the dynamic and static Young's modulus
- Characteristics of newly poured mortar in accordance to DIN EN 12350, directive VeBMR and ASTM
External monitoring
External monitoring of product quality by independent, certified and accredited testing institutes and laboratories
