Tinius Olsen. 

The Man. 

The Company. 

The Materials 

Testing 

Experts. 

The industrial history of materials testing 

by machine can be traced to Tinius Olsen, 

a visionary inventor who built the first universal 

testing machine. By 1880, he had proven and 

patented enough of his revolutionary ideas 

and designs to create an entire line of testing 

machines and launch his own company. 

Over the years, Tinius Olsen introduced and innovated 

application-specific solutions for materials testing that 

spanned the industrial manufacturing and construction 

spectrum. After the turn of the century, and 

the innovation of motor vehicles and modern 

highways, that scope of offerings came to 

include a new product line dedicated to the 

testing of cement, concrete, and road 

materials. Nearly a century later, many of 

Tinius Olsen’s original designs and 

technological approaches are still industry 

standards today, a testament to his knowledge 

of the sciences, of the nuances of the many 

natural and man-made materials that make up 

our world, and of best engineering practices. 

At Tinius Olsen, we are proud of our 

founder’s legacy and are always seeking to 

build upon it with new and creative systems 

that combine the best of proven materials 

testing machine technologies with the latest in automation 

and in digital monitoring, control, and analysis software. 

We offer equipment for testing high performance metals, 

the latest engineering grades of plastics, the toughest 

textiles, and the most exotic composites. 

Building upon some of the early solutions of our founder 

shown here, we also offer one of the industry’s most 

comprehensive and reliable lines of products and services 

for the testing of construction related materials. The breadth 

of machines and testing resources that follow are all 

supported by our A2LA and UKAS accredited technical 

team who keep our ever-growing global customer base up 

and running with precisely-calibrated testing machinery.

System Description 

Tinius Olsen’s Automatic Blaine 

Apparatus is an automated version of 

Blaine apparatus and follows the 

international standards. It is used to 

determine the fineness of cement using 

the Blaine air-permeability apparatus, 

in terms of the specific surface 

expressed as total surface area in square 

centimeters per gram, or square meters 

per kilogram, of cement.

standard consistency is attained when 

the 10 mm plunger of the Vicat apparatus 

penetrates the cement paste to a predetermined 

depth under free-fall. A new 

sample is prepared and tested with initial 

and final needles in accordance with the 

procedure detailed in the standard being 

used. The Vicat Apparatus consists of 

Vicat mould, glass plate, initial and final 

needle, mild steel baseplate, and Vicat 

split mold.

Le-Chatelier Mold 


The Le-Chatelier Mold consists of a small 

split cylinder, which, when assembled, 

forms a mold with an internal diameter 

of 30 mm and a height of 30 mm. On 

either side of the split cylinder, two parallel 

indicating arms with pointed ends are fixed. 

The mold construction is such that when a 

mass of 300 g is applied, this will increase 

the distance between these indicator arms 

by 17.5 mm ± 2.5 mm without permanent 

deformation of the mold. 

Two rings are soldered to the upper half of 

the mold on each side of the central split to 

make it easier to split the hardened mold at 

the end of the test.Two rings are soldered 

to the upper half of the mold on each 

side of the central split to make it easier 

to split the hardened mold at the end of 

the test. 

Extensibility of Mold Apparatus 

(Resistance of Mold Test Apparatus) 


Le Chatelier molds need to be checked 

and calibrated periodically with this unit 

to check the state of the split cylinder. 

This unit consists of a metal sleeve with a 

hook and set screw to fit over one of the 

mold pointers, and a clamp to fit on to 

the other pointer of the mold.

The use of shrinkage bar molds are 

also recommended to determine 

cement soundness; any shrinkage of 

the specimen is determined by Length 

Comparator (listed in the concrete 

section of this catalog). Two models 

are offered: one has smooth stainless 

steel reference points and the other has 

knurled and threaded reference points; 

both models are available as single 

mold and multiple mold compartments. 

Each mold is supplied complete with 

base plate and two reference points 

per compartment of mold. Each mold 

size is 25 x 25 mm section and 250 mm 

effective length (distance between two 

innermost reference points).
