20 Essential Equipment For Sanitaryware Laboratory

Sanitaryware Laboratory Equipment & Tools

Multiple pieces of equipment and tools are necessary for the sanitaryware laboratory to conduct day-to-day testing and monitor the parameters effectively. This equipment and tools are essential for incoming raw material checks, slip rheological property checks, glaze rheological properties, the casting department's condition, the kiln temperature profile, and final product property testing.

Complete Equipment List

Here is the list of equipment & tools required for the sanitaryware laboratory:

Equipment/Tool	Image	Remark
Torsion Viscometer		To check the rheological property of Slip & glaze
Electrical Lab Dryer		For sample drying
Water Absorption Machine		To test water absorption of fired samples
Modulus of Rupture (MOR) Machine (Green and Fired)		To check MOR of green and fired samples
Vicat Apparatus		To check Plaster of Paris properties
Jar Mill		To grind lab samples of glaze
