Concrete Air Meter Kit with Rubber Mallet

Concrete Air Meter Kit with Rubber Mallet

This is one of the most accurate concrete air content test devices available in the USA and beyond. It’s designed to give you accurate results, so it’s a must have for construction professionals and engineers. Works with concrete mixes with lightweight aggregates.

Better Construction:

• Material: Heat treated cast aluminum. Heavy duty and lightweight.

• Size: 1 gallon (3.8 liters) vessel. 15 inches (381 mm) tall. 8 inches (203 mm) diameter.

Better Clamping System:

• Capacity: Best clamping system. Stainless steel levers. 2,500lbs (1,134 kg) each. Easy and reliable operation

Faster Pump and Gauge:

• Ultra Pump

  

• Pressure Gauge: The air meter concrete has a larger more accurate pressure gauge with safety glass and bold color dial face. Gauge is color coded for entrapped and entrained air readings. Super Air Meter (SAM) is the key to measuring entrained air efficiently and withstands extreme weather conditions.

Kit Includes:

• Type B Concrete Air Meter: Meets industry standards for air content testing.

• Carrying Case: Polyethylene case with inner molded walls to hold meter and accessories in place.

• Calibration Accessories: Calibrated vessel, calibration outside tube and calibration inside tube.

• Tamping Rod: 24 inches (610 mm) long. 5/8inch (16 mm) diameter. Rounded to a hemispherical tip at both ends.

• Tamping Rod: To remove excess material.

• Tamping Rod: To remove excess material.

• 3 oz. Bulb Syringe: To add water during the test.

• 16 oz. Rubber Mallet: To consolidate and seal.

• Strike-Off Bar: To remove excess material.

Meets Test Methods:

• AASHTO T152: Standard Method of Test for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method.

• ASTM C231: Standard Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method (ASTM C231).

Product Description

The Gilson Concrete Air Meter is a precision instrument to measure entrained air content 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. Proper air content also improves the workability of concrete, making it easier to place and finish.

Overview of the Kit

Easy to use, the concrete air meter allows for straightforward operation, so contractors and engineers can quickly and reliably assess the quality of their concrete. The meter is compatible with a wide range of concrete and cement materials, making it versatile for use in various environments, whether on indoor job sites or exposed outdoor locations. The Gilson kit is built for dependable operation, so every batch of concrete meets the necessary specifications for durability and performance, especially in applications where air entrained concrete is critical.

Features

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

• Large 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 standards and AASHTO standards.

This means:

• Accurate air content measurements: To meet specs and reduce bleed water, improve concrete quality and finish.

• Durable and long lasting: Built for construction site.

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

How to Handle

1. Prepare the 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 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.

Note: ASTM C173 is another standard method for measuring air content by the volumetric method, and the Gilson kit is compatible with industry standards.

This is it! Simple and fast.

Maintenance

To keep your Gilson Meter in good condition and accurate:

• 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 and maintenance: Get accurate results.
