Gilson Concrete Air Meter Pressure Gauge w/Calibration Certificate
The Concrete Air Meter Gauge is a tough, accurate and long lasting upgrade for most popular Type B Concrete Air Meters. Features not found on lower quality gauges are a wide profile phosphor bronze Bourdon tube and a rugged mechanism for dependable accuracy. Fine adjustment screws on the dial face are micro-adjustable for easy “tweaks” during calibration, saves time and makes calibration and maintenance easier. Accuracy is ±1/2% of full scale. Unaffected by changes in barometric concrete pressure.
3.5in (89mm) Dial Face Stainless Steel Gauge. American made with stainless steel housing and industrial grade rack and pinion mechanism. ±1% at full scale. Acrylic lens is break resistant and sealed behind gasketed bezel to keep out moisture and dust. 1/4in NPT brass threads fit most concrete air meters. Stainless steel clamps for proper tension for a watertight seal during testing.
The Gilson Concrete Air Meter used fewer strokes and is a precision instrument to measure the entrained air content in freshly mixed concrete. This air meter is a must have for quality and consistency of concrete mixtures. Made with tough materials, heat treated cast aluminum base and stainless steel clamps, built to withstand field testing. Easy to use and accurate, the Gilson Concrete Air Meter is a must have for concrete testing professionals.
Polymid B housing is high strength, waterproof, rustproof and impact resistant. Threaded bezel has O-ring gasket to seal the gauge from moisture and dust. Dual layer safety glass lens is scratch and break resistant and replaceable. Total gauge size is 4-1/4 x 2in (108x51mm) Dia. x H, 3-1/2in (89mm) dial face. 1/4in NPT brass threads fit most concrete air meters.
The concrete pressure chamber is used to equalize known and unknown air volumes for accurate measurements.
Base Volume: The concrete pressure chamber bucket is also a unit weight measure, very practical.
