Unit Weight Bucket, Aluminum, 1/4 CuFt

Unit Weight Bucket, Aluminum, 1/4 CuFt

The Aluminum Unit Weight Bucket is a precision-machined tool specifically designed for accurate and reliable testing in concrete applications. With a capacity of 1/4 cubic foot (7.1 liters), this sturdy bucket is made from high-quality cast aluminum, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion caused by cement paste. This bucket is widely used for unit weight, yield testing, and gravimetric air content determination in fresh concrete, as well as void content analysis of aggregates, making it an essential tool for producing high-quality pavements and structures.

Key Features:

• High-Precision Construction: Machined to provide superior accuracy in testing applications.
• Durable Cast Aluminum Body: Corrosion-resistant material ensures long-lasting performance, even with exposure to cement paste.
• Integral Handles for Easy Handling: Handles are formed directly into the castings for added strength and convenience during transport and use.
• Compact and Efficient Design:
  • Capacity: 1/4 cu. ft (7.1 liters)
  • Inside Diameter: 8 inches (203 mm)
  • Inside Height: 8.8 inches (224 mm)

Testing Standards Compliance:

This aluminum unit weight bucket meets the following industry standards:

• ASTM C29 (Standard Test Method for Bulk Density of Aggregates)
• ASTM C138 (Standard Test Method for Unit Weight, Yield, and Air Content of Fresh Concrete)
• AASHTO T19 (Bulk Density and Voids in Aggregate)
• AASHTO T121 (Density, Yield, and Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete)

Accessories for Enhanced Testing:

Expand the utility of your unit weight bucket with these essential tools:

• Strike-Off Plates: Ideal for leveling and removing excess concrete during testing.
• Tamping Rods: Perfect for consolidating concrete specimens in air content testing and yield calculations.
• Concrete Strike-Off Bar: Ensures precise removal of excess material to achieve accurate results.
• Rubber Mallet for Tapping: Features a 2.25-inch (57 mm) hard rubber face, ideal for consolidating concrete in the bucket or removing molds without damaging the material.

Applications:

This bucket is specifically designed for professionals working in construction, materials testing, and quality control. It is commonly used to:

• Determine the unit weight and yield of fresh concrete to ensure proper mix proportions.
• Measure the gravimetric air content of concrete for durability assessments.
• Analyze void content in aggregate materials to optimize concrete composition.

Whether you're testing concrete for large-scale infrastructure projects or smaller construction jobs, the Aluminum Unit Weight Bucket delivers precision, durability, and ease of use for consistent, high-quality results.
