Technical Specifications

ApplicatThe air content in fresh concrete is a critical parameter for assessing concrete's behaviour when exposed to weathering and for monitoring changes in air content resulting from the application of chemical additives to enhance workability. This apparatus is designed by Matest to determine the percentage of air contained in a fresh concrete mixture, in accordance with a pressure-equalization process. The device features an aluminium pressure chamber where air pressure is manually generated using an integrated hand pump. Upon opening an overflow valve, the system achieves pressure balance with the test pot, filled with the fresh mortar or concrete. The resultant pressure reduction serves as an indicator of the material's air content and appears on the connected pressure gauge. The air entrainment meter can also be used for measuring the unit weight of fresh concrete and aggregates.ion
