Flow Cone AZA 0820 – Cement Mortar Flow Testing Tool

FLOW CONE AZA0815

The AZA0815 Flow Cone Apparatus from azalab is a high-accuracy instrument used for determining the flowability, viscosity, and fluid consistency of cement grout, mortar, and fine aggregate mixtures. Designed to meet the requirements of ASTM C939 and IS 9103, it is an essential tool for quality control in civil engineering labs, ready-mix concrete plants, and on-site construction testing.

This apparatus—also referred to as a grout flow cone—helps evaluate the time required for a cementitious or fine aggregate mixture to flow through a calibrated orifice. This flow time directly correlates to the mix’s workability, fineness, fluidity, and performance in applications such as grouting, repair mortars, high-flow cement systems, and self-compacting materials.

Built from rust-resistant stainless steel or anodized aluminum, the AZA0815 Flow Cone provides long-term durability and easy cleaning. It is supplied complete with a funnel, powder-coated stand, and a calibration plate to verify orifice size and measurement accuracy.aza

Its simple design, quick operation, and repeatable results make it ideal for laboratory research, quality control departments, and field engineers dealing with high-flow grouts or fine slurry mixes.
