Vicat Apparatus determines the normal consistency and time of setting of portland cements that consists of a rod weighing 300 grams, having a needle in each end, and supported in a frame with a graduated scale to measure the distance to which the needle penetrates the cement
When Portland or hydraulic cement is mixed with water, heat is generated as a result of the exothermic reaction. The heat generated by cement’s hydration raises the temperature of concrete and this temperature rise causes expansion while concrete is hardening, especially under conditions when heat can not be readily released. The TCM-0047 Heat of Hydration [Read More]
The TCM-0040 Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus is used to determine the fineness of Portland cement, limes and similar powders expressed in terms of their specific surface.
Length Comparators are used to determine the length changes on different type of cement prisms. The set consists of a length measuring frame with measuring device attached to it Length comparator TCM-0037 comes with a 0.001 mm x 12,7 mm digital dial gauge (TCM-0152) and the length comparator TCM-0038 is supplied with special 0.0001 mm [Read More]
Jolting Table is used for compacting cement specimens in 40 x 40 x 160 mm mould and consists of mould table seated on a rotating cam driven at 60 r.p.m. The falling height is 15 mm conforming to EN 196-1. The machine is equipped with a counter which provides automatic shut off at end of [Read More]
The Masonry Saw has been developed to cut and prepare test samples of concrete, rock specimens and cores. It is available in three different models. Special clamp assembly allows specimens to be held during cutting operation. The machine is supplied complete with circulation water pump to suppress dust.
Concrete Impermeability Apparatus is used for the determination of the depth of penetration of water in to hardened concrete specimens under pressure. The system can test 150x150x150 mm cube. Pressure to the sample, up to 12 bar with 0.2 bar precision is generated by compressed air applied to the integral water tank and controlled by [Read More]
Mobile Rolling Straight Edge (3 Meter) The Rolling Straight Edge is used for measuring pavement planeness. Rolled by one person along a highway, airport runway, or bridge surface, the unit detects, registers and logs results of high and low areas that need to be ground or re-rolled. These results can be loged and down loaded [Read More]
Concrete Mortar Penetrometer is used for determination of setting time of the mortar fraction of fresh concrete. The apparatus consists of a spring loading device which is graduated from 2 to 150lbs, supplied complete with a set of needle points of 645, 323, 161, 65, 32, and 16 mm². A sliding ring indicates the load [Read More]
The 0650 Air Entrainment Meter is used to determine the air content of fresh concrete. It consists of a flanged 7 litre capacity cylindrical vessel and cover assembly incorporating a large (90 mm dia.) pressure gauge, air pump and valves. It has a quick action clamping system. Direct pressure gauge reading to the nearest 0.1% [Read More]
