Automatic Vicat Apparatus
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10348
Quick Answer: Automatic Vicat Apparatus is a computerized cement testing instrument used to measure the initial and final setting time of cement, conforming to EN 196-3, 13279-2, 480-2, ASTM C191 and C187. A needle or probe drops freely into the cement sample at regular intervals and fixed positions, and a sensor with 0.1 mm resolution measures the penetration depth; as the cement hardens the penetration depth decreases, and when it reaches pre-defined threshold values, the setting times are automatically calculated and recorded. It features a 4.3-inch touch screen colour display, LAN and USB connectivity for networking up to 32 units and data storage, and weighs approximately 10 kg.
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, and the penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0.1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, and when it matches thresholds pre-defined by Standards, the initial and final setting times are measured and recorded.
