Mortar penetrometer
General Information Location: BATir - Building, Architecture & Town
Planning, building : C, local : civil engineering lab level 1 Key words: Setting time / Mortar Main application: Device for evaluation of the mortar setting
time according ASTM C403. Measurements of penetration resistance are made at
regular time
intervals with a needle corresponding to the resistance level for each
measurement time. The needle should reach a depth of 1cm + / - 0.1 over
a
period of time of 10 seconds + / -2. The initial setting time is
equivalent to
a resistance of 3.5 MPa and the final setting time to 27.6 MPa. Contact
