Unit Weight Bucket, Aluminum, 1/3 Cu Ft

Unit Weight Bucket, Aluminum, 1/3 Cu Ft

Introducing the 1/3 ft³ Cast Aluminum Unit Weight Bucket, an essential tool for material testing professionals. This measure is precisely engineered to determine the unit weight of coarse and fine aggregates, as well as the yield and gravimetric air content of freshly mixed concrete.

Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant cast aluminum, this bucket is designed to withstand the harsh, alkaline nature of cement paste, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. The interior is machined to exact dimensions for superior accuracy, meeting the stringent requirements of industry standards. For added convenience and durability, integral handles are formed directly into the casting, providing a sturdy and comfortable grip.

This unit weight measure is crucial for quality control in construction, helping to ensure that concrete mixes meet design specifications for high-quality pavements, structures, and other projects.

Key Features:

• Durable Construction: Made from sturdy, corrosion-resistant cast aluminum.
• Precision Machined: Ensures superior accuracy for reliable test results.
• Integrated Handles: Sturdy handles are part of the casting for enhanced durability.
• Capacity: 1/3 ft³ (9.3 liters).
• Dimensions: 8" (203mm) inside diameter x 11.5" (292mm) inside height.

Recommended Accessories for Comprehensive Testing:

• Strike-Off Plates: Used for precisely leveling the sample by striking off any excess material.
• Tamping Rods: Essential for consolidating concrete specimens during air content and slump testing.
• Concrete Strike-Off Bar: A straightedge used to remove excess concrete and finish the surface.
• Rubber Mallet: Features a hard rubber face for tapping the sides of the measure to consolidate concrete and remove air voids without damaging the bucket.

Compliant with Industry Standards:

This unit weight bucket meets the following test methods:

• ASTM C29 / C29M: Standard Test Method for Bulk Density ("Unit Weight") and Voids in Aggregate.
• ASTM C138 / C138M: Standard Test Method for Density (Unit Weight), Yield, and Air Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete.
