About K-Slump Tester
Specification:
K-Slump Tester for in-place measurements indicates correlation to the slump test. The probe determines workability of concrete and the degree of compaction. Includes correlation chart and instructions.
Reliable Concrete Slump Testing AnywhereThe K-Slump Tester enables users to rapidly measure the workability of fresh concrete on-site or in the laboratory, providing results in under a minute without the need for power supply. Its portable, lightweight design and manual operation make it ideal for contractors, manufacturers, and quality control teams needing quick, non-destructive evaluations.
Engineered for Accuracy and DurabilityConstructed from ABS plastic and stainless steel, the K-Slump Tester resists corrosion and withstands demanding work environments. The weather-proof, graduated scale ensures clear readings regardless of ambient humidity or temperature, and the instrument aligns with ASTM C1362 standards for trustworthy, repeatable measurements.
FAQ's of K-Slump Tester:
Q: How does the K-Slump Tester measure the workability of fresh concrete?
A: The instrument is manually operated by placing its stainless steel rod into a fresh concrete sample prepared in accordance with ASTM C1362. The slump value is read directly from the weather-proof scale, indicating the concrete's workability within a range of 0-230 mm.
Q: What standards does the K-Slump Tester comply with?
A: It is fully compliant with ASTM C1362, ensuring accurate and standardized measurement procedures for determining concrete slump values in field or laboratory settings.
Q: When should the K-Slump Tester be used in concrete testing?
A: This instrument is ideal for use immediately after mixing concrete, in both quality control checks at the construction site and laboratory analyses, to quickly assess the material's workability before placement.
Q: Where can the K-Slump Tester be applied?
A: It is suitable for use in construction sites, research laboratories, concrete manufacturing facilities, and testing centers. Its robust design supports reliable operation in ambient conditions from 0C to 50C and 0-100% relative humidity.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the K-Slump Tester after use?
A: After completing a test, simply rinse the rod and body with water to remove concrete residue; its corrosion-resistant materials make maintenance straightforward and efficient.
Q: How accurate are the measurements from the K-Slump Tester?
A: The tester provides a resolution of 1 mm and an accuracy within 5 mm, ensuring precise evaluation of slump values for concrete samples.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the K-Slump Tester compared to other methods?
A: Benefits include portability, rapid results, non-destructive testing, manual operation (no power requirement), and compliance with ASTM standards, making it an efficient and reliable solution for anyone involved in concrete work.
