Calibration Tube, Inside Straight, for Concrete Air Meter
The Calibration Tube, Inside Straight, is an essential component designed for use with a Concrete Air Meter. This short, straight aluminum tube securely screws into the corresponding threads on the underside of the meter's lid, directly beneath the petcock that has the bent tube attached on top.
Function: The primary function of this tube is to extend deep enough into the meter's base bowl. This allows water to be siphoned effectively into the calibration vessel during the critical calibration process, ensuring the meter is accurately prepared for testing.
Compliance: This component helps ensure the Concrete Air Meter meets the following standard test methods:
- AASHTO T152
- ASTM C 231
Recommended Accessories for Concrete Air Entrainment Testing:
- Tamping Rod for Slump Cone Test: These rods feature machined hemispherical tips and are essential for consolidating concrete specimens in slump, air content, and strength tests as per ASTM/AASHTO standards.
- Concrete Strike-Off Bar: A sturdy, flat bar used to remove excess concrete from the top of the air meter bowl or molds, ensuring a level and accurate volume of the sample.
- Replacement Gauges: We offer high-quality, dependable replacement gauges designed to fit most Type B Concrete Air Meters, ensuring accurate and readable pressure measurements.
- Replacement Air Pump: Our robustly constructed replacement air pumps are compatible with Gilson Concrete Air Meters and many other manufacturers' models, offering a longer service life and reliable performance.
