Permeability
The design of concrete mix is aimed at maximum
durability for the conditions where it is to be used. Ability to resist the
flow of water through is one of the important durability characteristics.
The permeability is determined on cement mortar and concrete specimens,
either cast in the laboratory or obtained by cutting out cores from existing
structures. The Permeability test is carried out as per the standard,
IS:3085 and US Bureau of Reclamation, specifications
Permeability Testers
High Pressure Permeability Test can be conducted on
different size specimens using different cells. Each cell is made of steel
and provided with a top plate and funnel at the bottom having gasket seals
held in position through bolts and nuts. The concrete specimens are sealed
in the cell to prevent any leakage along the side walls. The permeated water
is collected in glass bottles attached at the bottom. Each test stall has
its own control system, operating pressure gauges and valves. The pressure
sight glass tubes are fully protected by a shatter proof panel The
multi-unit per-meameters are so designed that all tests can be performed at
the same time, using either the same head or varying head pressure, as each
test stall is provided with its own pressure regulator and control. The
control instruments are mounted on a sturdy welded structural stand. All
multi-units are provided with end pressure gauges. Each unit is provided
with chamber pressure gauges of 0-20 kg/cm2 and test pressure gauges of 0-15
kg/cm2. Pressures are applied using any available pressure line at the site
or a compressor.

SCO-1082
Pocket Concrete Penetrometer
SCO-1083
Concrete Penetrometer, Spring Type
IS: 8142-1976
It consists of cylindrical spring housing with a plunger attached to the
top of the spring. Penetration needle is attached to the other end of the
spring housing. The plunger is graduated in 1 kg divisions, to a maximum
capacity of 60 kg, which can be read with respect to the top end of the
spring housing. A set of six needle points with areas of 645, 323, 161, 65,
32 and 16 mm2 are provided. Supplied complete in a wooden carrying case.
SCO-1081
Concrete Penetrometer. Hydraulic Type
Consistency And Workability
Consistency is a general term relating to the
relative fluidity of the concrete. It is an indication of the amount of
mixing water in relation to the amount of dry materials. Workability
indicates whether or not concrete can be placed easily in some desired shape
or location. To ensure that concrete achieves its maximum possible strength
and yet retains its ease of placing on site, it is essential that the design
of the concrete mix in relation to the water cement ratio and workability is
closely controlled. Following are the methods for determining the
consistency of concrete
Slump Test
This test is considered suitable for cohesive and
plastic mixes of concrete containing aggregate smaller than 50 mm
SCO-1085
IS: 7320, BS: 1881, ASTM C 143, AASHO T119
Slump Test Apparatus
The slump cone is filled with freshly mixed concrete and is tamped with a
tamping bar in three or four layers. The top of the concrete is leveled off
with the top of the slump cone, the cone is lifted vertically up and the
slump of the sample is immediately measured
Features
Base has cleats on its underside to help dig into the ground surface
Positive clamping of slump cone to the base while filling and rodding the
concrete A combination swivel carrying handle also doubles as the datum
making the conventional and somewhat awkward measuring procedure of using a
foot rule and a datum bar, a thing of the past Supplied complete with base
plate, having cleats and swivel handle
SCO-1085001
Slump cone
Conforms to IS: 7320, BS: 1881, ASTM C 143, AASHO T 119 specifications.
Made of sheet steel, suitably protected against corrosion.
