The use of chemical additives to increase the workability often requires an air content check to be made. The test method is suitable for concrete containing normal weight or relatively dense aggregate up to 63 mm maximum size.Standard(s)EN 12350-7Product CodeProductQty34-3265Air Entrainment Meter ‘B’ Type complete with Carrying Case, supplied with Aluminium Tamping Bar134-2910Compacting Bar 25 mm2 x 380 mm134-0130Tamping Rod 16 mm dia x 600 mm long hemispherical at both ends181-0220Aluminium Scoop Large129-5020Soft Headed Mallet181-0240Shovel (Flat)181-4230Sample Tray 1200 x 1160 x 50 mm281-0340Plasterers Steel Float181-0521Stop Watch1Also required for calibration78-7090Harvard Trip Balance 2000 g capacity x 0.1 g with 225 g additional Tare178-7110Weight Set for 78-7090178-6040/01Balance 30 kg at 1 g182-1880Plastic Measuring Cylinder 500 ml124-0430Glass Plate1Additional equipment also required as stated in mixing and sampling fresh concrete, site and laboratory, EN 12350-1161Buyer’s GuideConcretewww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 200Making Specimens from Fresh ConcreteTest procedures require that specimens are cast in a number of standard sizes which are convenient to compressive and flexural strength determination.The following lists of equipment to produce various types/sizes of specimen include hand compaction and, as an alternative, compaction by vibrating table.

Construction cements are usually comprised of lime or calcium silicate and combined with fly ash. They are categorised as either hydraulic (eg. Portland cement) or non-hydraulic, depending on their ability to set in water.High quality cement is necessary to produce concrete and mortar that meets relevant construction industry specifications. ELE International designs and manufactures a wide range of sample preparation and cement testing equipment which complies with global standards for the assessment of fineness, consistency, setting time, workability, flow, strength, soundness, heat of hydration and chemical composition.ELE’s comprehensive cement testing equipment enables the mixing, moulding and curing of samples prior to compressive and flexural strength testing of prisms, cubes and briquettes.167Cementtel: +44 (0)1525 249 200 • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • www.ele.com168Chemical TestsCementChemical TestsChemical analysis plays an important part in the categorisation of cements and other construction materials such as lime.
