Inside Calibration Tube For Concrete Air Meters

Inside Calibration Tube For Concrete Air Meters

The Inside Calibration Tube is a key accessory designed for calibrating Type B Concrete Air Meters. This tube is essential for accurately verifying the meter's gauge readings, ensuring that any measurements of entrained air in fresh concrete are precise and reliable. By using this tube, you can confirm that your equipment adheres to the strict testing standards of AASHTO T152 and ASTM C 231.

How to Calibrate Your Meter Using the Tube: The calibration process involves introducing a known volume of air into the meter's base and comparing the gauge reading to this known value. The inside calibration tube is used to remove a specific, known percentage of water from the meter, simulating a percentage of air. This allows you to check and adjust the meter’s gauge for accuracy. Typically, this process is repeated to verify multiple points on the gauge, such as the 5% and 10% marks, ensuring linearity across the scale.
