Petrographic Examination of Aggregates for Concrete Microscopes

Petrographic examination of aggregates for concrete, mortars, and building stones can help determine if the concrete cured correctly, of if there is any evidence of degradation. Concrete and aggregate testing provides construction managers valuable information during a project including concrete mix, air content, weight, and strengths of concrete.

The Petrographic Examination of Aggregates for Concrete follows guidelines for petrographic microscopes that meet ASTM C295, ASTM C547M and ASTM C856 standards. Both concrete examination microscopes offered by Microscope World meet these standards.
