Supports the following standards: ASTM C173, AASHTO T196
This lightweight aluminum Roll-A-Meter concrete air content is used to determine the air content of concrete mixes, and is recommended for concrete containing lightweight aggregate, air content-cooled slag or highly porous aggregate in concrete mixes. The meter’s fast acting one-piece, self-locking stainless steel clamps assure a watertight seal between the top section and bowl. A see-through window in the neck has an easy to read engraved scale graduated from 0 to 9% with .25% sub-graduations, indicating the liquid level. The liquid level is crucial for accurately measuring air content in concrete mixes after water and isopropyl alcohol are added, ensuring precise gauging of concrete density. A durable plastic carrying case with a tough die cut closed cell hard foam insert protects the meter and its accessories like tamping rod and calibration measuring vessel.
Kit Includes: Meter, carrying case, tamping rod, baffle funnel, strike-off bar, calibration measuring vessel, syringe, 16 oz. measuring cup, spanner wrench and manual.
