Concrete Pocket Penetrometer

Concrete Pocket Penetrometer

Concrete testing tools like the Rebar Locator and Covermeter are a big part of the construction industry to ensure quality and durability of concrete structures. The Profoscope Rebar Locator and Covermeter is another essential tool alongside the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer for both field and lab evaluation of concrete mortar. This device measures the initial set, gives you valuable information about the properties and behavior.

Testing involves many methods, testing is one of them which determines the resistance to penetration. The Concrete Pocket Penetrometer is designed to give accurate and reliable results, with a calibrated range of 0-700 psi. Its lightweight and portable design makes it perfect for both field testing and lab testing.

By using the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer, construction professionals can ensure their structures meet the required standards and specifications. Regular testing is necessary to prevent defects and failures, reduce the risk of costly repairs and ensure public safety. Accurate concrete testing is crucial in achieving these goals.

Concrete Pocket Penetrometer

Concrete Pocket Penetrometer is a tough, lightweight unit with a calibrated reaction spring for resistance. Used for lab testing of initial set of mortar, which is defined as the point where it has reached 500 psi. This device can be compared to the Proctor Penetrometer Set used for soil testing. Plated steel construction resists rust and will withstand harsh conditions until it has set. 0-700psi scale etched into the barrel of the piston. A snug fitting indicator band slides onto the piston to register maximum readings.

Features:

• Plated steel

• 700psi

In addition to the main unit, various accessories are available to complement the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer. These include different types of penetration plungers, calibrationtools and carrying cases to suit your testing needs.

What is a Concrete Pocket Penetrometer?

A Concrete Pocket Penetrometer is a portable, tough and lightweight device for testing of initial set. It helps determine when the initial set is reached, which is very important to assess the material’s strength and quality. It’s a must have in the construction industry to measure the penetration value of concrete mortar quickly and easily.The Concrete Pocket Penetrometer measures the resistance of mortar and gives a reliable indication of its strength and quality. The device has a calibrated reaction spring and a plunger with a 1/20 square inch tip area. The calibrated range of the pocket penetrometer is 0-700psi, suitable for all types.

Used with concrete, mortar and psi (pounds per square inch) the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer is a must have for both field and lab testing. It’s used to determine the set times of initial set which is a critical factor in determining the strength and durability of concrete structures.

In addition to its main function the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer has a scale etched into the barrel of the piston so you can read the value. A snug fitting indicator band slides onto the piston to register maximum readings.

In all the Concrete Pocket Penetrometer is a good tool to measure the penetration value.

Specifications

• 6in (152mm) long

• ASTM C780

Components and Design
