Concrete Air Meter (Type B)
The Concrete Pressure Air Meter is of higher quality, less expensive, and more accurate. Our Concrete Air Meter offers a higher-quality Type B Pressure Meter for measurement of concrete air content with many improvements that make it a better buy.
Long-lasting stainless steel clamps adjust quickly and are less expensive to replace. The larger gauge in a stainless steel housing is easier to read, calibrate, and seal to reduce the need for maintenance.
With a large, easy-grip handle, the pump builds pressure quickly and is shielded to keep dirt and water out of the piston area. Brass petcocks have stainless steel ball valves for accuracy and durability. Petcock handles are vinyl-coated for more comfortable operation. The dimensions and accuracy of the pressure meters exceed the requirements of ASTM.
