Shotcrete Penetrometer
Product code: CN003
Category: Concrete
Standards referenced in catalogue: EN14488-2

to BS EN 14488-2 (Method A) The shotcrete penetrometer provides accurate readings of the forces required to penetrate sprayed or poured concrete during the first few hours of development, giving a reliable indication of compressive strength and curing progress. Its accuracy and portability make it ideal for on-site testing to BS EN 14488-2 (Method A) and used in conjunction with other tests as the mixture hardens over time. Features Sturdy, cleanable, and portable design Built-in 1000 N loadcell Quick and easy penetration needle swapping Live display for ease of reading Measurement units in N, kN, mN, lbf, kgf or gf Required 10N accuracy (+-0.1% of 1000 N F.S.) Penetrometer needle adaptor and 15 needles Store up to 500 readings in memory RS232 data output to printer or SPC systems Resolution 1:5000 Concrete penetration testing ensures: Accuracy and repeatability Optimum reliability Optimum safety Minimising of costly down time Consistent quality in concrete layers Compliance with recognised standards Simple operation suitable for unskilled staff The Shotcrete Penetrometer is a complete portable system for testing the compressive strength of the initial stage of young sprayed concrete to BS EN 14488-2 (Method A). The kit includes: 1 × Carry Case 1 × Shotcrete Penetrometer with dual handle (fitted) 1 × Penetrometer Adaptor 15 × Penetration Needles (15 mm needle, diameter 3 mm, top angle 60º) 5 × Rechargeable NIMH Batteries 1 × Mains Adaptor/Charger 1 × Operating Manual 1 × User Guide 1 × Calibration Certificate The user guide includes complete step-by-step instructions for using the penetrometer to measure and report the test results to the standards.
