Description and Functionality of Consistency Vicat Apparatus

The Vicat Apparatus is an instrument to determine the consistency, initial setting time and final setting time of hydraulic cement, mortar and grout. Meets ASTM and AASHTOtest standards. Robust frame construction, reversible stainless steel plunger and needle assembly with adjustable indicator.

The plunger has a removable needle at one end, and the needle is attached at one end of the plunger to allow for precise measurement of cement or lime setting times. The weight of the plunger is critical in determining the consistency and setting times of cement paste.

Plunger assembly is designed to penetrate the cement paste to a specific depth to measure consistency and setting times. A must have tool for professionals who require accuracy in their testing.

Key Components and Accessories: Needle Assembly The Vicat Apparatus comes with:

• Stainless steel plunger 10mm diameter for durability and accuracy.

• Needle assembly with indicator for depth measurement.

• Rigid frame construction for stability and consistent results.

• Hard rubber mold for durability and easy to use.

• Scale in mm for precise measurement.

• Weighs 300 grams.

All of these work together to give you the best results.

Testing Procedures and Standards

To start the test, a specific amount of water is added to the cement to create a paste of normal consistency. This paste is then placed into the conical mold which is set on the frame of the consistency Vicat apparatus.

The plunger assembly with a reversible stainless steel plunger is carefully lowered onto the surface of the cement paste. The adjustable indicator on the plunger assembly allows for precise measurement of the penetration depth which is critical for the standard consistency of the cement.

Applications and Industries

Used in:

• Construction: To determine the consistency times and grout for quality and durability of construction materials.

• Cement Manufacturing: To maintain the quality and consistency of products for production of reliable building materials.

• Research and Development: To study properties for development of new and improved materials.

• Quality Control: To monitor the consistency in various applications to meet industry standards.

A must have for anyone involved in production, testing and application of hydraulic cement, mortar and grout. Meets quality and performance standards.
