Shotcrete Penetrometer (AFG 1000N)
- Product Code: Shotcrete_Penetrometer
The Shotcrete Penetrometer is a complete portable system for testing the compressive strength of the initial curing stage of young sprayed concrete to BS EN 14488-2 (Method A).
BS EN 14488-2 (Method A)
Verification of consistency is vital in the initial stages of the concrete curing process in order to ensure maximum strength. During this phase, multiple needle penetration tests provide a reliable indication of texture and can be considered in conjunction with other tests as the mixture hardens over time.
Mecmesin's 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. Its accuracy and portability make it ideal for on-site testing to BS EN ISO 14488 (Method A) and related standards.
Concrete penetration testing ensures:
• Accuracy and repeatability
• Optimum reliability
• Optimum safety
• Minimising costly down time
• Consistent quality in concrete layers
• Compliance with recognized standards
• Simple operation suitable for unskilled staff
