FAQs of Air Entrainment Meter:
Q: How does the Air Entrainment Meter AEM-08 measure the air content in fresh concrete?
A: The AEM-08 utilizes the pressure method, in which air is entrained and sealed within fresh concrete inside the aluminum cylinder. By applying pressure using the integral hand pump and observing the analog gauge, the air content percentage (010%) is determined as per IS:1199 and ASTM C231 standards.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the AEM-08 Air Entrainment Meter?
A: This air entrainment meter offers accurate and repeatable measurements (accuracy 0.2%), is made from heavy-duty materials for durability, features a pressure-tight construction, requires minimal maintenance, and is easy to operate manually, making it ideal for field and laboratory use.
Q: When should air content in concrete be measured with the AEM-08?
A: Air content should be measured immediately after mixing and before concrete placement to ensure compliance with desired specifications and to enhance the durability and workability of the structure.
Q: Where can the Air Entrainment Meter AEM-08 be used?
A: Due to its portable construction and reliable build, the meter is suitable for use in laboratories, construction sites, and quality control departments, supporting field testing as well as in-house assessments of concrete mixes.
Q: What is the process for operating the AEM-08 Air Entrainment Meter?
A: The process involves filling the cylinder with the fresh concrete mix, sealing the unit, and applying known pressure using the hand pump. Reading the stabilized gauge value reveals the air content in the sample. The clear, permanent graduation markings assist in accurate observations.
Q: What maintenance does the AEM-08 require?
A: Thanks to its robust build and pressure-tight assembly, the AEM-08 requires only basic regular cleaning and inspection of seals to ensure ongoing accurate results, keeping overall maintenance low.
Q: How is the product packaged and delivered to ensure its safety?
A: The AEM-08 is supplied in specially designed box packing, which safeguards the meter and its components during transport, ensuring it arrives in optimal working condition for immediate use.
