Automatic Touch Screen Vicat Apparatus

The Automatic Touch Screen Vicat Apparatus is an advanced laboratory testing instrument designed for the automatic determination of the consistency and setting time of cement paste. Featuring a digital touch-screen interface and automated testing operation, it provides convenient and reliable testing for modern cement and construction material laboratories.

The apparatus is designed to determine the initial and final setting times of cement, reducing manual intervention and improving testing consistency. It is suitable for routine quality control, research and development, and laboratory testing applications.

Applications

The Automatic Touch Screen Vicat Apparatus is suitable for:

• Cement consistency testing
• Initial setting time determination
• Final setting time determination
• Cement quality control
• Cement laboratory testing
• Construction material testing
• Civil engineering laboratories
• Research and development
• Cement manufacturing quality-control laboratories

The mobile probe weighs 300 g (1000 g following the EN, NF
Standards), the penetration needle has 1.13 mm diameter (1 mm
following ASTM Standard) and its fall can be programmed in free fall
or in guided fall. Totally flexible as far as the time is concerned, the
penetrations time can be selected between 0.25 minutes and 900
minutes, the interval between two penetrations can be fixed or can
change during the test basing on the penetration depth or on the
number of penetrations. The options described here above can be
combined together.
The penetration measure is read by a very accurate encoder having
a resolution of 0.1 mm
The Vicatronic also calculates, visualises and prints:
- Date and time of the test.
- Time of each penetration.
- Depth of each penetration.
