Consistometer
Product Code : JA-CT-9882
The Consistometer (SKU JA-CT-9882) measures the workability of fresh concrete by a mechanical variation of the slump test. Concrete is formed in a slump cone placed in a container; after the cone is removed, the container is vibrated on a small vibrating table of fixed amplitude and frequency until a plastic spacer disc resting on the concrete shows that compaction is complete. The time taken indicates workability, expressed in degrees. It is supplied by JaincoLab for concrete technology laboratories.
Specifications
The consistometer comprises a slump cone, a container, a small vibrating table of fixed amplitude and frequency and a plastic spacer disc; container size and vibrator rating are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.
