Concrete Penetrometer

Pocket Concrete Penetrometer :

TPCP-CON-200
ASTM C-403

For fast evaluation of the initial setting of concrete. It can be used on light weight concrete, special roof deck mixes and concrete additives.

Specification : Consists of a needle having face area 3/10 sq. cm. and graduated at a distance of 25cm. The needles point is an integral part of barrel which houses a calibrated spring. The spring is confined in a sleeve. The resistance offered by the concrete mortar is shown on the direct reading scale with a marker ring which holds its position when released. 2 Scale range is 0-50kg/cm² when the penetration resistance reaches a 2 value of 35kg/cm² the concrete is assumed initially set. Supplied complete in carrying case

Mortar Penetrometer :

TMP-MOR-200
ASTM: C 403

It is used for finding out the rate of hardening of mortar sieved from concrete spring and a stem graduated from 0-70 kg x 1 kg. Six interchangeable penetration needles of areas 645, 323, 65 32 and 16mm sq. Is provided . The penetration resistance is measured by the force exerted to penetrate the mortar by 25mm and is indicated by a sliding ring on the stem, which is graduated. Needle shanks are marked at every 12.5mm.
Complete in a wooden carrying case.

 

Cone Penetrometer for Mortar :

TCP-M-200
IS 2250-1965

For determining the consistency of masonry mortar Consists of a movable bearing rod to which a cone 145mm. Long and 75mm dia at a base is fixed. The bearing rod passes freely through a bracket which is provided with release mechanism. A dial graduated in mm with rack and pinion is provided for measuring the penetration. Complete with a conical container 150mm id x 180mm deep and a platform.

KELLEY Ball Penetration Apparatus :

TKBP-200
ASTM C-360

The apparatus is used to determine the workability of Portland cement & concrete. The Kelly ball test is considered to be simple and much faster than the slump test. Twice the Kelly ball reading approximately equals the slump. It consists of a cylinder with a ball shaped bottom and handle, together weighing 15 kg. A strip frame, guides the handle and serves as a reference for measuring the depth of penetration. The handle is graduated in mm. Penetration can be recorded to the nearest 0.5mm.
