Grout Flow Cone Test
Grout Flow Cone is cast aluminum and has an adjustable gauge assembly. The flow cone method is a standardized test procedure for measuring the flowability of fluid hydraulic cement grout. This flow cone test method also applies to other fluid grouts used in preplaced aggregate concrete. The standardized flow cone measures flowability of fluid hydraulic cement grout used in preplaced aggregate concrete. This model is flexible for testing applications and does not have an Orifice to regulate flow. With the 0.5in (12.7mm) Orifice it meets ASTM C939. The 0.75in (19.0mm) Orifice can be used for less flowable grout mixes, meets ASTM D6449. Orifices are sold separately.

Definition and Purpose
The Grout Flow Cone Set is a unique tool to measure the flowability of fluid hydraulic cement grout used in preplaced aggregate concrete. This flow cone method test is used to determine the efflux time of a specified volume of grout through a flow cone, to evaluate the grout’s fluidity and suitability for construction applications. The Grout Flow Cone Set is essential in the construction industry, especially in preplaced aggregate concrete production where flowability of grout is critical to achieve the desired strength and durability of the concrete. By using this tool, construction professionals can ensure the grout meets the required standards.
Key Features and Flow Cone Method
The Grout Flow Cone Set has a cast aluminum flow cone with a replaceable orifice, a tripod stand and a stainless steel beaker. This setup measures the flowability of fluid hydraulic cement grout by allowing it to flow through a standardized orifice. The test flow cone method is to pour a specified volume of grout into the flow cone and measure the efflux time as the grout flows through the orifice. The Grout Flow Cone Set comes with different orifice sizes, 0.5in and 0.75in which can be interchanged to test method with different types of grout. Also includes point gauge assembly to indicate the initial level of the grout sample for accurate and consistent measurements.
Construction Use
The Grout Flow Cone Set is essential in the construction industry, especially in preplaced aggregate concrete production. Flowability of grout is critical to achieve the desired strength and durability of the concrete and the Grout Flow Cone Set is a reliable way to measure this property. By using the Grout Flow Cone Set, construction professionals can ensure the grout used in their projects meets the required standards which is critical to the safety and longevity of the structure. Also the Grout Flow Cone Set is a quality control and quality assurance tool, construction professionals can monitor and adjust the flowability of the fluid hydraulic cement grout to achieve the desired results.
