Manual Mortar Penetrometer

Manual Mortar Penetrometer determines the initial and final set of hydraulic cement mortars that have been sieved from concrete mixtures. The Penetrometer consists of a spring dynamometer with a graduated scale on the stem of the handle graduated from 10–130lbf (45–580N) in increments of 2lbf (9N), and is operated with a downward force to penetrate 1in (25mm) into a sample. Resistance is indicated by a sliding ring indicator on the stem. The unit comes with a convenient carrying case and includes six stainless steel penetration needles with 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, 1/20, 1/40 in² (645, 323, 161, 65, 32, and 16mm²) bearing areas.

Features:

• Determines mortar consistency and set time by penetration resistance
• Handle with 2lbf (9kN) graduations
• The scale on handle stem with sliding ring indicator

Included Items:

• Manual Mortar Penetrometer
