The Concrete Air Meter is a precision instrument to measure entrained air in fresh concrete. It’s a must have for concrete structures in extreme frost areas or severe freeze/thaw conditions. The air meter is a key tool for contractors, engineers and quality control professionals who need to verify air content of concrete to meet specifications. With its rugged construction and accurate readings the Gilson Concrete Air Meter ensures concrete is properly aerated for better performance and longer life.

Features and Benefits

The Gilson Concrete Air Meter has:

• Heat-Treated Cast Aluminum Base: 1/4ft³ volume. For unit weight and yield determinations.

• Large, Easy-Grip Handle: Builds pressure in the meter fast and is shielded to keep dirt and water out of the piston area.

• Brass Petcocks with Stainless Steel Ball Valves: Accurate and durable. Vinyl coated handles for easy opening and closing.

• Stainless Steel Clamps: Long lasting and adjustable. Less expensive to replace.

• Gauge Options: Gilson Gorilla Gauge (stainless steel American made gauge), digital gauge. Both meet or exceed ASTM and AASHTO standards.

These mean:

• Accurate content measurements: To meet specifications.

• Easy, fast dependable operation: Even in tough conditions.

• Durable and long lasting: Built for construction site use.

• Gauge options: So you can choose the right gauge for your needs.

Why Accurate Content with the Calibration Vessel Measurement Matters

Accurate content measurement is critical for concrete quality and durability. Air-entrained concrete is used in extreme frost areas or severe freeze/thaw conditions to increase its resistance to freezing and thawing. Entrained air pockets in concrete reduces cracking and splitting frequency and severity. Inaccurate air content measurements can result to substandard concrete that may not meet specifications. That means costly repairs or even structural failure. By using a concrete air meter, professionals can ensure their concrete is properly aerated for better performance and longer life.

How to Use the Concrete Air Meter Kit with Calibration Vessel

Using the Concrete Air Meter Kit is easy and requires no training. Here’s how:

1. Prepare the Concrete Sample: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Assemble the Air Meter Kit: Calibration vessel, calibration tubes, tamping rod, aluminum straightedge, syringe for water.

3. Put the Concrete Sample in the Air Meter: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Read the Gauge: Record the air content.

5. Repeat as Necessary: To get accurate and reliable results.

This simple process allows you to measure air content in your concrete fast and easy.

To keep your Gilson Concrete Air Meter in good condition and accurate, follow these:

• Clean the Air Meter and its parts: Prevent dirt and debris from building up.

• Store the Air Meter in a dry and secure place: Don’t damage or tamper.

• Check the gauge and other parts for wear and tear: Replace if necessary.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for calibration adjustments and maintenance: Get accurate results.

By doing so, you can keep your Concrete Air Meter and calibration vessel in good condition and get accurate air content measurements for a long time.
