AZA 1111 V FUNNEL – Flow Time Testing for Self-Compacting Concrete

The AZA 1111 V Funnel is a standardized apparatus designed to determine the flow time of freshly mixed Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) through a narrow opening. This V Funnel test is part of a broader family of SCC tests including the slump flow and J-Ring tests, but focuses specifically on flow time under gravity, offering key insight into concrete viscosity and stability.This test evaluates the viscosity and flowability of SCC, helping assess whether a mix will flow smoothly into complex formworks without segregation or blocking.

This V Funnel test is part of a broader family of SCC tests including the slump flow and J-Ring tests, but focuses specifically on flow time under gravity, offering key insight into concrete viscosity and stability. The V-shaped funnel ensures that the concrete has only one route to exit, simulating narrow passes in reinforcement-laden sections.V Funnel, AZA 1111, SCC test, flow time test, self-compacting concrete, concrete testing equipment.V Funnel AZA 1111 tests flow time of self-compacting concrete (SCC).

⚙️ Key Features & Use Cases

  • Ideal for testing SCC viscosity in quality control labs

  • Simple, fast, and standardized operation

  • Remove the bottom gate to allow concrete to flow freely.
  • Suitable for construction sites, precast plants, and R&D centers

  • Complies with EN 12350-9 and EFNARC guidelines

  • Optional accessories include reversible bottom gate and holding stand


🔬 Testing Procedure

  1. Place the V Funnel apparatus securely on its stand.

  2. Fill the funnel with freshly mixed SCC up to the brim, ensuring no air pockets.

  3. Remove the bottom gate to allow concrete to flow freely.

  4. Use a stopwatch to record the time taken for the funnel to empty.

  5. Record the time (in seconds) – typical values range from 6 to 12 seconds.

Higher times suggest higher viscosity or reduced workability, while shorter times indicate excellent flow. If concrete blocks or sticks, the mix may require modification.
