Costly Sensitive
laboratory equipment and apparatus!
A. Safe Handling
- Laboratory equipment can lead to dangerous side effects and
that is why it is quite important to know how to handle properly.
B. Efficient Use
- Laboratory instruments required the proper knowledge to run
or operate them. If they are not operated in the required way, it
will not be helpful to churn out the desired results.
C. Proper Materials
- Many laboratory machines are designed to study and analyze
samples from a variety of sources. This sample could be organic
or inorganic, vegetable or mineral. Knowing which machine is for
which kind of sample and what the machine is supposed to do is
good for avoiding trouble.
D. Understanding Results
- After inserting the correct materials or calibrating a machine
correctly, you still won't be able to finish your task unless you
understand what it is that the machine has just done. Knowing
which sections of any printouts or displays contain the most vital
information and what that information means is important to
completing the experiment.

to determine the quality of aggregates by materials like powder, cement, gypsum, and
abrasion granulometric
