V FUNNEL AZA1111
AZA1111 V Funnel is a precision laboratory apparatus designed to measure the flow time and viscosity of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). It evaluates how quickly fresh SCC passes through a narrow, V-shaped section under the action of gravity, providing critical insight into the concrete’s workability, stability, and resistance to segregation.
The V Funnel test is essential when designing SCC mixes that must flow through heavily reinforced or congested formwork. By recording the time taken for concrete to completely discharge from the funnel, the apparatus allows engineers and technicians to quickly judge whether a mix is too stiff, too viscous, or optimally balanced.
Manufactured with a durable, corrosion-resistant metal body and a precise quick-release gate mechanism, AZA1111 ensures smooth, repeatable testing. Its rigid structure and stable stand make it suitable for both laboratory and site-based quality control environments.
The equipment is designed in compliance with EN 12350-9 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring globally accepted and repeatable test results
