ASTM C-360

Specification:

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 MSI 2006 for measuring the depth of penetration. The handle is graduated in mm. Penetration can be recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm.

For reaching greater depths and to facilitate easy and constant rate of penetration of the cone, this engine-driven Static Cone Penetrometer of 100 kN (10, 000 kgf) capacity is preferable.

The equipment consists of a hydraulic pump driven by a Diesel Engine. The whole system is mounted on a towable trolley fitted with pneumatic wheels. The pumping unit and ram are connected by means of flexible pipes through a direction control valve. The hydraulic ram moves on a two-pillar stand mounted on a trolley. Complete with the following:

Rugged construction to withstand hard work

Fully automatic and easy to operate

Uniform compaction

Automatic Preset Blow Counter

Specification: The Automatic Compactor eliminates the laborious process of manual compaction and an even degree of compaction is achieved. The driven mechanism lifts the weight of 4.5kg and drops it through a correct height of 457 mm. The rammer foot is removable, which facilitates preheating. A compaction pedestal with specimen holder is fixed to the base. An Automatic Blow counter enables the number of blows to be present before each test and automatically stops the machine on completion. Suitable for operation on 230 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase,

A.C. supply. Note: Also available for modified compaction test
