STANDARD: NF P18-452
The concrete workability meter (also known as plastometer)
is designed to test concrete for dynamic workability.
It is suitable for field and laboratory tests to check:
– concrete mix for consistency, expecially water content
– optimum proportioning of concrete constituents (sand, gravel,
water, cement)
– possible improvment when admixing a plastifier
– comparing two concrete types
The unit consists of a prismatic receiver divided into two unequal
volumes by a removable partition, and an electric vibrator.
The fresh concrete is poured into the large volume space,
the separating partition is removed, and the vibrator
starts automatically.
The test consists in measuring the time required
for the concrete to reach an uniform distribution
in the receivers
