High Density
Concrete
Pitts Little Corporation offers high
density concrete up to 300 pounds per cubic foot. High density
concrete gives a composite shield for both neutron and gamma
radiation. High density aggregates are the key ingredient in
high density concrete. The most common aggregates used to
achieve the required densities are Hematite (Fe2O3), Ilmenite
(FeO TiO2), Magnetite (Fe3O4) and Steel Aggregate.
The standard sizes of interlocking high
density concrete bocks are 4” x 6” x 12” and 6” x 6” x 12”.
In addition to poured, pumped or conveyed
high density concrete, Pitts Little Corporation also offers a complete line of high
density blocks for radiation shielding. These included tow
sizes of chevron type interlocking HD blocks where grout is
optional, two sizes of solid rectangular HD blocks with
matching density HD grout and tow sizes of 3-core HD masonry
units with matching density HD grout. These multiple size and
shape options provided a simple solution to adding
space-saving shielding to any wall, ceiling and floor without
having to endure lengthy construction delays. You may also
choose to work with your own local mason or concrete
contractor to save money on installation.
