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.
