ABM VAN ZIJL VICAMATIC 2 automatic vicat apparatus

EN 196-3 | EN 480-2 | ASTM C191 | AASHTO T131 Automatic vicat apparatus, for determining automatically the setting time and consistency of cement. CONTROLS has a long tradition in manufacturing automatic setting time testers for cement and mortar. A new generation, the third one, is now available. The new machine has been completely redesigned based on the innovative CVI-TECH philosophy. As with the older generations the test procedure is unchanged, a needle (or a probe) drops freely into a cement sample at regular intervals and in fixed positions. Penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0,1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, when it matches some thresholds pre-defined by Standards initial and final setting times are measured and recorded. Specifications Large size 4,3'' touch screen color display LAN port for direct connection to PC of a single unit or connection to a LAN hub for creating a network with up to 32 independent units all controlled by a single PC. 1 LAN cable is included USB port for data storage on pen-drive (included) Test procedures can be customized and stored to match user-defined requirements Can incorporate an integrated graphic printer showing test result and setting time plot Large test space with easy accessibility Automatic calculation of initial and final setting time at programmable penetration depth limits Wide range of accessories including EN and ASTM/AASHTO parts, in-water testing kit, needle cleaning device, integrated printer, probes for testing consistency and gypsum Minimum penetrations rate: 10 seconds Penetration measurement by encoder
