Fresh concrete field testing is an essential process that is carried out to ensure that the concrete mixture is of the desired quality and meets the specifications for its intended use. This testing is particularly important in construction projects, where concrete is the primary building material.

Gilson is a leading provider of equipment and supplies for concrete field testing. The company offers a wide range of products that are designed to ensure that fresh concrete is tested accurately and efficiently. In this essay, we will discuss some of the Gilson products that are commonly used in fresh concrete field testing.

One of the most critical tests performed on fresh concrete is the slump test. Gilson offers a variety of products for this test, including the HM-403 EZ-Clean Steel Slump Cone Set, which includes a steel slump cone, high-density polyethylene base plate, and 5/8x24in (16x610mm) steel tamping rod. The slump cone is filled with freshly mixed concrete, and the cone is lifted vertically, allowing the concrete to settle or slump. The amount of slump is then measured to determine the consistency of the concrete. Gilson HM-403 EZ-Clean Steel Slump Cone Set is easy to use and provides accurate results, making it a popular choice among contractors and engineers.

Air content is another essential factor in fresh concrete field testing. Gilson offers the HM-30 Concrete Air Meter Kit with Gorilla Gauge, which is a reliable and efficient tool for determining the air content in fresh concrete. The air meter uses the pressure method to determine the air content, and it is simple to use, providing accurate results in a matter of minutes. The HM-30 air meter is also portable, making it an ideal choice for field testing. And it also features the exclusive Gorilla Gauge that is a rugged German-engineered gauge with precision jeweled movement and a high-strength Polymid B molded housing that is waterproof and rustproof. 

Temperature is also an important factor in fresh concrete field testing. The Gilson MA-102 Pocket Dial Concrete Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of freshly mixed concrete. The thermometer features a stainless steel stem and a large, easy-to-read display, making it easy to use in the field. The Gilson MA-102 Pocket Dial Concrete Thermometer, 25 To 125F, 1" Dial also has a protective sheath, which helps to prevent damage to the stem during transport and storage.

The unit weight of fresh concrete is another critical factor that is tested in the field. The Gilson HMA-492 Unit Weight Strike-Off Plate 12"X12", is used to measure the unit weight of fresh concrete. The test hammer uses a rebound principle to measure the hardness and density of the concrete, which is then used to calculate the unit weight.

In conclusion, fresh concrete field testing is a crucial process in construction projects, and Gilson offers a wide range of products that are designed to ensure that the testing is carried out accurately and efficiently. The company's products are reliable, easy to use, and provide accurate results, making them a popular choice among contractors and engineers. Whether you need to perform a slump test, air content test, temperature test, or unit weight test, Gilson has the products to meet your needs.
