High Density Concrete Blocks

The blocks are medium grey to buff in colour.

High density concrete blocks.

Ultraray s most popular pre fabricated hd blocks are chevron interlocking and flat straight. High density concrete blocks eliminate the need for composite lead shields or borated polyethylene and the blocks commonly serve as additions to vault upgrades where requirement for shielding escalates. The most common aggregates used to achieve the required densities are hematite fe2o3 ilmenite feo tio2 magnetite fe3o4 and steel aggregate. For use internally and externally above and below ground.

High density concrete is a concrete having a density in the range of 6000 to 6400 kg cu m. The high density concrete has a better shielding property so that it can protect harmful radiations like x rays gamma rays and neutrons. High density concrete is mainly used for the purpose of radiation shielding for counterweights and other uses where high density is required. High density concrete replacing fine and coarse aggregates in concrete with lkab minerals natural aggregate magnadense allows you to produce heavy weight concrete with a high density of up to 4 0 t m3.

Uses of heavy weight concrete. Its all round performance allows a 100mm standard grade celcon block to be used consistently throughout a build eliminating on site confusion. High density aggregates are the key ingredient in high density concrete. High density concrete is also known as heavy weight concrete.

High density concrete blocks 1 marshield s system of dry stacked shielding modules which interlock to form a tight leak free therapy room of any size or shape. High density heavyweight blocks large and small modular high density heavyweight concrete block systems allow you unprecedented flexibility for future needs. The standard sizes of interlocking high density concrete blocks are 4 x 6 x 12 and 6 x 4 x 8. Meaning of high density concrete.

Unique sine wave shapes eliminate straight line seams and provides superior neutron photon and particle attenuation at the joints. The density of light weight concrete is about 1900 kg m 3 and that of normal concrete about 2400 kg m 3. High density heavyweight concrete cast in place high density heavyweight concrete solutions. You choose the solution that fits your space and your budget.

High density concrete blocks are an ideal solution for therapeutic modalities including linear accelerators proton therapy and hdr rooms as well as industrial applications requiring shielding materials. As the name suggests the density of this concrete varies from 3360 kg m 3 to 3840 kg m 3 whereas the density of normal concrete is of the order of 2400 kg m 3.
