Title:
METHOD OF DETERMINING A DIMENSION OF A SAMPLE OF A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL AND ASSOCIATED APPARTUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004113834
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus for determining a volume of a construction material sample is provided, comprising at least one sample-interacting device configured to interact with the construction material sample so as to determine at least one surface characteristic thereof. A computer device is configured to be capable of receiving the at least one surface characteristic from the at least one sample-interacting device, and to manipulate the at least one surface characteristic so as to form a three-dimensional representation of the construction material sample. The computer device is further configured to determine the volume of the construction material sample from the three-dimensional representation thereof. By determining the mass of the construction material sample, the density of the construction material sample can be provided. An associated method is also provided.
