About VEE BEE Consistometer

VEE BEE Consistometer

The instrument is used for work ability as well as consistency of fresh concrete. A slump Cone and a graduated rod supplied with the instrument helps the operator to find out slump values and vibration table with container and acrylic disc is used to find out work ability of concrete expressed in Vee Bee degrees, which is defined as the time in seconds to complete required vibrating at which the fresh concrete flows out sufficiently to come in contract of the entire face of acrylic disc.

Specification:

A vibrating table size 380mm long and 260mm wide, resting upon elastic support at a height of about 305mm above the floor, complete with Start/Stop switch, cord and plug. A holder is fixed to the base in to which a swivel arm is telescoped with funnel and guide swivel arm is also detachable from the vibrating table. The divisions of scale on the rod record the slump of the concrete in millimeters. Supplied complete with a sheet metal container with lifting handles which can easily be fixed to the vibrating table. A slump cone open at both ends with lifting handles and a tamping rod of size 16mm dai. and 600mm long rounded at both ends.

Reliable Concrete Workability Testing

The VEE BEE Consistometer offers consistent, repeatable results for concrete workability tests. Its sturdy construction supports daily laboratory use, while overload and earth leakage protection ensure safe operation. With a vibration table running at 1200 rpm and digital or mechanical timer options, users achieve accurate measurements. The smooth finish steel surface and ergonomic design support efficient workflow, making the device essential for modern material testing labs.

Versatile Design and Easy Operation

Designed for manual operation, this consistometer accommodates up to 8 liters of fresh concrete and features an analog display for easy reading. The timer, with an accuracy of 1 second, guarantees reliable performance. The device is suitable for indoor environments, comes in a protective wooden box, and includes a 2-meter power cable for practical setup. Its smooth vibration table and robust components ensure longevity and precise results.

FAQs of VEE BEE Consistometer:

Q: How do you operate the VEE BEE Consistometer for concrete workability testing?

A: To operate the VEE BEE Consistometer, place a fresh concrete sample in the container, insert the tamping rod, and secure the assembly on the vibration table. Set the timer (digital or mechanical, with 1 second accuracy), then start the device using its manual controls. The motor vibrates the table at 1200 rpm, facilitating the test. Measure the time taken for the concrete to change consistency, as indicated on the analog scale.

Q: What standards does the VEE BEE Consistometer comply with, and why are they important?

A: This consistometer adheres to IS 1199 and ASTM C1170 standards, ensuring reliable and internationally recognized methods for testing concrete consistency. Compliance with these standards guarantees that results are accurate, repeatable, and comparable with industry benchmarks, supporting quality control in construction projects.

Q: When should you use a VEE BEE Consistometer during concrete testing?

A: The VEE BEE Consistometer is ideally used during the quality control phase of fresh concrete inspection, typically before pouring concrete into forms. It is suitable for laboratory use when accurate assessment of workability and consistency is essential, particularly for stiff or less workable concrete mixes.

Q: Where should the VEE BEE Consistometer be installed or operated?

A: This equipment is designed for use in indoor laboratory settings. It requires a flat, stable surface to ensure accurate measurements and needs access to standard 220V power, as supplied by its 2-meter cable. Proper indoor placement also minimizes environmental influence on the test results.

Q: What safety features are included with the VEE BEE Consistometer?

A: Safety features include overload protection and an earth leakage circuit breaker to guard against electrical hazards. These mechanisms enhance operator safety and protect the equipment from power surges or electrical faults during operation.

Q: How does the VEE BEE Consistometer benefit concrete quality control?

A: The device provides precise, standardized measurement of concrete workability, helping technicians ensure mix consistency. By identifying variations early, it supports optimal performance and durability in final concrete structures, reducing risk of structural weakness due to improper workability.

Q: What materials and components contribute to the devices durability?

A: The VEE BEE Consistometer is constructed from stainless steel and powder-coated mild steel, ensuring resistance to corrosion and wear. Key components include the sturdy vibration table, robust drive mechanism, and protective wooden packaging for safe transport.
