Description
The AZA1114 Pocket Concrete Penetrometer operates using a spring-loaded stainless-steel plunger. The resistance encountered during penetration correlates directly to the concrete’s stiffness and early strength. The calibrated scale helps engineers determine:
- Initial set: when mix begins to stiffen
- Final set: when mix gains sufficient rigidity
- Early compressive strength development
- Suitability for finishing, formwork removal, or loading
Typical applications include:
- Road and pavement construction
- Precast concrete production
- Shotcrete and sprayed mortar work
- Cement additive/admixture research
- Fast assessment in remote field conditions
How It Works
- Place the plunger against the surface of fresh mortar/concrete.
- Apply uniform pressure until the plunger penetrates to a standard depth.
- Note the resistance reading on the scale (MPa or psi).
- Repeat at intervals to produce a penetration resistance vs. time curve.
- Use results to determine initial and final setting times per ASTM C403.
