Concrete/Mortar Penetrometer Adapter Foot

Concrete/Mortar Penetrometer Adapter Foot

The Concrete/Mortar Penetrometer Adapter Foot is a vital accessory for geotechnical testing, specifically designed to assess the consistency and initial set of masonry mortars. With a diameter of 2.7in (69mm), this stainless steel adapter foot significantly expands the contact surface of the penetrometer's needle.

This larger surface area, precisely 16 times greater than the standard needle tip, reduces the pressure for a given load. This allows for more accurate and reliable measurements on softer materials like mortar, providing a precise indication of its board life and readiness.

The adapter foot is engineered for easy attachment to compatible penetrometers, such as the Concrete/Mortar Pocket Penetrometer and Dial Penetrometer models. It slides securely onto the penetrometer shaft and is held firmly in place with an integrated thumbscrew, ensuring stability during testing.

Features:

• Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
• Increases the measurement area by a factor of 16 for enhanced accuracy on soft materials.
• Simple slide-on design with a secure thumbscrew lock.
• Essential for determining the board life and workability of masonry mortars.

Specifications:

• Diameter: 2.7in (69mm)
• Material: Stainless Steel

Compliance: This adapter foot is designed to help meet the requirements of the following standards:

• ASTM C780 (Standard Test Method for Preconstruction and Construction Evaluation of Mortars for Plain and Reinforced Unit Masonry)
• ASTM C403/403M (Standard Test Method for Time of Setting of Concrete Mixtures by Penetration Resistance)
