    The document discusses three testing apparatuses used for cement and concrete: 1) The potential reactivity chamber tests for alkali reactivity of aggregates when used with high alkali cements. It is constructed of stainless steel and has a capacity of 50-75ml. 2) The organic impurities test set determines the presence of organic matter in sands through adding a sodium hydroxide solution and comparing the color after 24 hours. It includes bottles, a color chart, and sodium hydroxide pellets. 3) The scratch hardness tester determines the percentage of soft particles in coarse aggregates by scratching them with a brass rod and weighing the particles that form a groove. It has a support stand

    The C8651 is used for determining potential alkali reactivity of aggregates (chemical method) when used with
    high alkali cements. The chamber is constructed of stainless steel 2" dia x 2-1/4" high (51mm dia x 57mm) and
    is ftted with an airtight cover. The capacity of the unit is 50-75ml.
    This set is used for the approximate determination of the presence of organic matter in sands for mortar or concrete and to serve as a
    warning that further tests may be needed. The sand is poured into a bottle, then a Sodium Hydroxide solution is added. After 24 hours,
    the color of the sand is compared with a color chart. The set consists of 6 graduated 16 oz.. bottles, a color standards chart, and a 1
    lb. container of Sodium Hydroxide pellets.
    The scratch hardness tester is used for determining the percentage of soft particles in coarse aggregates by the scratch hardness test
    method. Particles are scratched with a brass rod and those on which a groove is made separated and termed soft. The percentage of
    soft particles is determined by their weight compared with the weight of the total sample. Apparatus is essentially the Federal Highway
    Administration type. The tester has a support stand with guides and 1/16" (1.6mm) dia. brass rod with a rounded point inserted into
    the steel plunger. The plunger is mounted on the support stand, which allows the plunger to lower and raise freely. The overall weight
    of brass point and plunger weight is 2 0.1 lbs. The tester is furnished with one extra brass scratch rod.
