Compressometer

suitable for field mixes of medium strength concrete

Drum Type Mixer

for the determination of the consistency, the medium and high workability of fresh concrete.

Slump Cone

for the determination of the workability of concrete, but it has the advantage of a mechanized action after removing the slump cone, the concrete undergoes a vibration to determine its slump. A space disk set in contact with the upper surface of the wet concrete, gives the operator the opportunity to determine when the compaction is complete. The operator will count the time necessary to complete the requested vibration, so as to get an indication of the workability of the concrete.

Vebe Consistometer

Flow Table

it is used to determine the workability of fresh concrete. The ball is lowered into the concrete and the penetration measured. It can be used on site or in laboratory

Kelly Ball Apparatus

the concrete workability meter (also known as plastometer) is designed to test concrete for dynamic workability.

Concrete Workability Meter

used for quick and easy measurement of the plasticity of mixtures especially concrete, and so to detect rapidly any excess of water. The measuring system is related to the shear strength applied by a three blade heads to the mixture under test.

Plasticity Meter

used to determine the setting time of the mortar fraction in concrete mixes with the slump greater than zero, by testing mortar sieved from mix.

Concrete Penetrometer

Material Testing

CATEGORIES OF MATERIAL TESTING

1. Mechanical Testing 2. Testing for thermal properties 3. Testing for electrical properties 4. Testing for resistance to corrosion, radiation and biological deterioration 5. Non-destructive testing

an item, material or supply consumed or used in a construction project and incorporated in the constructed building or structure.
