A Le Chatelier flask is primarily used in civil engineering labs to determine the specific gravity (density) of hydraulic cement, lime, and fly ash, and also to measure the soundness (expansion) of cement to check for quality issues like excess free lime. This specialized glass flask has a calibrated, graduated neck for precise volume readings, ensuring accuracy in these critical construction material tests, as per ASTM/IS standards.
