AR-B air meter is a heavy duty, highly accurate and long lasting upgrade for most popular Type B Concrete Air Meters. Features not found on lower quality gauges are wide-profile phosphor bronze Bourdon tube and rugged mechanism for accuracy. Fine adjustment screws on the dial face are micro-adjustable for easy calibration “tweaks” saving time and making calibration and maintenance easier. ±1/2% of full scale.
Digital Gauge displays psi applied up to 60PSIG and % air content of sample, ±0.25% of full scale. American made gauge has IP67 weatherproof enclosure with rubber boot and backlit LCD display. Powered by 2 AA batteries, battery level displayed on screen. 2.5in (64mm) diameter gauge face is polycarbonate and ABS plastic with IP67 waterproof enclosure. 1/4in NPT connection fits most concrete air meters.

-
Durable and lightweight cast aluminum construction
-
Direct percentage-reading gauge with calibration adjustments
-
Easy to transport and use on-site
Four one-piece self-locking clamps provide a secure seal between lid and base for reliable operation. All-brass pump with elongated stroke for faster test pressure build-up with fewer strokes for consistent results. Holding capacity for highly accurate measurement, rubber mallet and strike-off bar for easy sample preparation. Meter and accessories store and transport in plastic carrying case.
Accessories to Concrete Air Entrainment Test: Concrete Air Meter
Slump Cone Test Tamping Rods have hemispherical tips and are included in complete kits for concrete air meters. These rods are critical for air content measurement in concrete so they are important for operation and function of air meters used for concrete testing.
Tamping rod is used when consolidating concrete specimens for tests that include slump, air content and strength, so the tamping rod is used for specific tests related to air measurement in fresh concrete.
Concrete Strike-Off Bar is used to remove excess fresh concrete material.
Replacement Gauges in Concrete Air Meter Parts are quality gauges that fit most Type B Concrete Air Meters
Replacement Air Pump fits Gilson Concrete Air Meters (and others) with solid construction for longer life. See our concrete air meter replacement parts page for more concrete air meters and parts that also measure air content.
Specifications and Applications
The concrete air meter is used for measuring air entrained concrete samples in fresh concrete, fly ash and other lightweight aggregates. It’s used for concrete air tests for entrained air and volumetric air tests to ensure quality and durability of concrete structures especially in areas prone to extreme frost and freeze/thaw.
