Air Bleeder Valve Cap For Concrete Air Meters

Air Bleeder Valve Cap for Concrete Air Meters

Our Air Bleeder Valve Cap is a crucial component for any concrete air meter, designed to ensure precision when measuring the air content in fresh concrete. This replacement valve cap is compatible with concrete air meters that adhere to AASHTO T152 and ASTM C 231 test standards, guaranteeing reliable and consistent performance for your testing procedures.

Key Features:

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of field and lab environments.
• Precision Fit: Engineered to create a secure seal, preventing air leaks that could compromise test results.
• Compliance: Fully meets the requirements for AASHTO T152 and ASTM C 231.

The Importance of Accurate Air Entrainment Testing

Conducting precise concrete air entrainment tests is vital for ensuring the durability and longevity of concrete structures, especially those exposed to freeze-thaw cycles. Entrained air provides microscopic pockets that relieve internal pressure from freezing water, preventing cracking and spalling. Using properly functioning and calibrated equipment is the first step toward accurate results.

Complete Your Concrete Testing Setup

To ensure your operations run smoothly, we offer a comprehensive line of concrete air entrainment meters, replacement parts, and accessories.

• Tamping Rods for Slump Cone Test: These rods feature hemispherical tips as specified by testing standards, designed for the proper consolidation of concrete specimens during slump, air content, and strength tests.
• Concrete Strike-Off Bar: A necessary tool for removing excess concrete from the rim of the meter's measuring bowl, ensuring a precise sample volume for accurate testing.
• Replacement Gauges: If your meter's gauge is damaged or out of calibration, our high-quality replacement gauges are the solution. They are accurate, dependable, and fit most Type B Concrete Air Meters.
