The quality of concrete is crucial if structures are to be safe and serve the purpose for which they were designed. Consequently, the testing of fresh, hardened and in-situ concrete is vital to ensure that concrete structures comply with specifications and relevant standards. ELE International designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of concrete sampling and testing equipment to meet this requirement in accordance with international standards for both field and laboratory testing.With high compressive strength and low tensile strength, concrete is usually reinforced with materials such as steel. However, different strengths of concrete are used for different applications. Lightweight, low-strength concrete has good thermal properties and is suitable for sub-screeds and filling redundant voids, whereas high strength concrete is generally specified in large projects - lower floor columns of high-rise concrete buildings and in bridge beams for example. ELE’s concrete testing equipment is designed to ensure that these different types of concrete can be tested to ensure that they meet the specific requirements of each project.Fresh concrete is tested on site and in the laboratory using the slump test and air entrainment meters to check the water-cement ratio, air content and workability. It may also be necessary to measure compaction and density, drying, shrinkage and moisture movement. To demonstrate compliance with specifications, concrete mix samples are taken and prepared in moulds as cubes, cylinders or beams. Typically concrete cubes are cured and tested in a manual or automatic concrete compression machine at 7 days and 28 days to assess compressive strength. ELE’s comprehensive range of concrete compression machines are able to test concrete, mortar and cement samples such as cubes, cylinders, flagstones and beams, and accessories are available for testing the flexural and transverse strength of concrete samples.Concrete cores can be taken from hardened concrete for testing, but Non-destructive Test (NDT) equipment enables the testing of in-situ concrete or concrete samples. ELE provides crack detection microscopes, and a (Schmidt) rebound hammer for measuring surface hardness and penetration resistance. In-situ water permeability equipment is available in addition to ultrasonic test equipment for the inspection of internal condition.115ConcreteSlump ConeProduct Code: 34-0110Included with 34-0192 Slump Test Set.Product Standards: EN 12350-2 (BS 1881-102), ASTM C143/C143M, AASHTO T119SpecificationsConstructionSeamless, heavy-gauge spun steel; 0.45 inches (1.1 mm) min thicknessFinishPlated for rust and corrosion resistanceDimensions (mm)100 top dia x 200 bottom dia (without foot pieces) x 300 HWeight (kg)2.8Accessories:Aggregate Scoop (81-0222)Base Plate (34-0160)Cement Pan (34-0152)Sample Tray 1200 x 1160 x 50 mm (81-4230)Shovel with flat blade (81-0240)Tamping Rod 16 mm diameter x 600 mm long (34-0130)tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.com116Fresh & Hardened Concrete TestingConcreteSampling, Consistency & WorkabilityThe correct sampling and mixing of fresh concrete is important if test results are to be reliable. Most of the equipment necessary for efficient sampling and mixing is standard laboratory equipment detailed in the Laboratory Equipment section. To ensure that concrete achieves its maximum possible strength and yet retains its ease of placing on site, it is essential that the design of the concrete mix, in relation to the water-cement ratio and workability, is closely controlled.Slump Test ±Test is appropriate for concrete mixes of medium and high workability.The test is carried out by filling the slump cone with freshly mixed concrete, which is tamped with a steel rod in three layers. The concrete is levelled off with the top of the slump cone, the cone removed, and the slump of the sample is immediately measured.Slump Test Set BS & ASTMProduct Code: 34-0192Product Standards: EN 12350-2 (BS 1881-102), ASTM C143/C143M, AASHTO T119Set ContainsProduct CodeProduct34-0110Slump Cone34-0180Slump Cone Funnel34-0160Base Plate34-0130Tamping Rod34-0140Stainless Steel Rulewww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200117Fresh & Hardened Concrete TestingConcreteSlump Cone FunnelProduct Code: 34-0180Included with 34-0192 Slump Test Set.Product Standards: EN 12350-2 (BS 1881-102)SpecificationsConstructionSeamless, heavy-gauge spun steel; 0.45 inches (1.1 mm) min thicknessFinishPlated for rust and corrosion resistanceBase Dimensions L x W x H (mm)210 x 190 x 190Weight (kg)1.3Slump Cone Base PlateProduct Code: 34-0160Product Standards: EN 12350-2 (BS 1881-102)SpecificationsConstructionSeamless, heavy-gauge spun steel; 0.45 inches (1.1 mm) min thicknessFinishPlated for rust and corrosion resistanceBase Dimensions L x W x H (mm)510 x 460 x 30.5Weight (kg)2Tamping RodProduct Code: 34-0130Steel, 600 mm long x 16 mm diameter, hemispherical at both ends.

The device can be used for in-place measurements and for measurements inside test moulds and forms. The device is used as an indicator to correlate to the standard slump test. In operation, the K-Slump Tester is made wet and inserted into the concrete for 40 seconds. The K-Slump reading is then taken on the scale to the height that the concrete has penetrated the tester. The tester is then removed from the concrete vertically and the workability reading is taken on the scale at the height of concrete retained in the tester. After the readings, the unit is easily cleaned with water.K-Slump TesterProduct Code: 34-0580Developed to determine the workability of fresh concrete and the degree of concrete compaction placed in formwork. The apparatus can be used for in-place measurements of concrete in test moulds and forms and may be correlated to the standard slump test. It is simple, economical to use and reduces testing time. No special calibration is required.SpecificationsConstructionNickel Plated Steel. Calibrated 3/4 inches (19 mm) dia.

It is based on the principle of subjecting the concrete to vibration after removal of the slump cone. The assembly is mounted upon a small vibrating table operating at a fixed amplitude and frequency. The time to complete the required vibration gives an indication of the concrete workability.Special Note: The consistometer must be operated from the correct electrical supply in order to comply with the fixed test frequency specified.Vibro ConsistometerProduct Codes: 34-0300/01, 34-0300/06Comprising of vibrating table, container, slump cone, graduated rod and plate.
