Gilson Concrete Air Meter Kit, Stainless Steel Gauge ASTM C231

Gilson Concrete Air Meter Kit, Stainless Steel Gauge ASTM C231

The Gilson Concrete Air Meter Kit, Stainless Steel Gauge ASTM C231 is the real MVP when it comes to measuring entrained air. That’s where our Type B Concrete Air Meter comes in. This kit includes everything you need to get started: a Calibration Vessel, Calibration Tubes, Tamping Rod, Aluminum Straightedge, Syringe for water, and a sturdy plastic carrying case with die-cut foam padding and operating instructions.

The pump has a large, easy-to-grip handle that lets you build quickly-and easily-while keeping dirt and water out of the piston area. Brass petcocks feature stainless steel ball valves for accuracy and durability, and vinyl-coated handles make opening and closing them a breeze. Meters have long-lasting stainless steel clamps that are adjustable-and less expensive to replace.

Our heat-treated cast aluminum base has a 1/4-cubic-foot volume and can also be used for unit weight and yield determinations. That’s right-we’ve got the widest range of gauge types for Type B Meters in the industry. Every gauge exceeds ASTM and AASHTO requirements. You can choose from the HM-30 with our Gilson Gorilla Gauge, the HM-30S with a stainless steel American-made gauge, or the HM-30D with our new digital gauge.

You’ll get a Calibration Vessel, Calibration Tubes, Tamping Rod, Aluminum Straightedge, Syringe for water, Carrying Case and operating instructions. That sturdy plastic carrying case holds a meter with all components in die-cut foam padding.

The kit comes with our exclusive Gorilla Gauge-a rugged, German-engineered gauge with precision jeweled movement and high-strength Polymid B molded housing that’s waterproof and rustproof. Micro-adjustable calibration screws give you superior accuracy and save you time during calibration and maintenance. The Gorilla Gauge is ANSI-rated B40 Grade 2A with accuracy ±0.5% at full scale. A dual-layer safety glass lens is sealed behind a threaded bezel with O-Ring.

This kit is designed in various locations-whether that’s a construction site, laboratory or testing facility, ensuring that pricing includes considerations like shipping and import duties related to the customer's location. That can impact shipping costs and import duties.

Here are the key features:

• New precision Gorilla Gauge has rugged plastic housing and safety glass

• Sturdy plastic carrying case fits all components

And here’s what you get:

• Gilson Air Meter (with Gorilla Gauge or Stainless Steel Gauge)

• Calibration Vessel

• Calibration Tubes

• 24in (610mm) Tamping Rod

• Aluminum Straightedge

• Syringe

• Plastic carrying case

That’s really all you need to determine the air content of freshly mixed concrete handling the pressure method.

The pressure method is a widely accepted test method that measures the volume of air in the concrete by applying and releasing on a concrete sample. It’s crucial for ensuring that concrete meets the required standards for durability and performance.

The kit is engineered to provide accurate and reliable results, making it an indispensable tool for contractors, engineers and quality control specialists. You can handle the information you get from the kit to improve concrete quality, reduce defects and ensure compliance with industry standards.

By using this air content test kit, you can ensure your concrete products meet the required standards-and enhance the overall quality of your work.

The kit is also a valuable tool for those looking to deepen their understanding of concrete and its properties. It can be used in various applications-research and development, quality control and construction.

That test method isn’t applicable to concretes with lightweight aggregates, air-cooled blast-furnace slag or aggregates with high porosity. Certified MTP offers a selection of ASTM Test Sieves for Aggregate for various applications. Before you start, you need to establish the right safety, health and environmental practices-and determine whether there are any regulatory limitations you need to work around.
