Methylene Blue Test Set

The Methylene Blue Test is a method used to determine the clay content in the fines fraction of aggregates.

It is a test set used to test the presence/contamination of clay and silt, which are undesirable in the aggregate, in the industrial sector where fine aggregates must be used.

The test involves measuring the amount of clay or fine material present on the surface of the aggregate particles. The presence of excessive clay or fines can have a significant impact on the properties of concrete, such as workability, strength, and durability. The Methylene Blue Test helps in determining the clay content, which can then be used to assess the suitability of the aggregate for use in concrete.
