About L Box Apparatus
Applications:
L-Box to investigate the flow rate and passing ability of SCC (Self-Compacting Concrete) in confined spaces.
Working principle:
It measures the reached height of fresh SCC after passing through the specified gaps of steel bars flowing within a defined flow distance. With this reached height, the passing or blocking behavior of SCC can be estimated.
Details of apparatus:
- Made of Mild steel material
- Powder coated or spray painted in attractive shades

Clear Observation and Precise MeasurementThe L Box Apparatus is equipped with transparent acrylic side panels, providing unobstructed visibility during SCC flow tests. This design, coupled with a graduated scale marked to 1 mm resolution, enables real-time, accurate monitoring of the concretes behavior as it passes through the apparatus. The manual operation ensures immediate and precise readings every time.
Durable Construction and Easy HandlingConstructed from powder-coated mild steel and backed by a sturdy bench-top mounting system, the L Box Apparatus guarantees durability and stability during testing. Its user-friendly removable sliding gate and efficient drain system streamline the testing and cleaning processes, making it ideal for frequent laboratory use.
Global Standards and Safe ShippingCompliant with international SCC test requirements and featuring export-quality packaging, the L Box Apparatus is suitable for worldwide shipping. Each unit is carefully packed to prevent transit damage, ensuring the apparatus arrives in pristine condition, ready for immediate deployment in laboratories or industrial settings.
FAQs of L Box Apparatus:
Q: How is the L Box Apparatus used to evaluate Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)?
A: The L Box Apparatus is used to measure the flow rate and passing ability of SCC by observing how the concrete flows through the L-shaped channel when released through a standard sliding gate. The ratio of heights (H2/H1) after flow is manually measured using the graduated scale, providing insights into the SCCs ability to pass through obstacles without segregation.
Q: What materials are used to construct the L Box Apparatus?
A: This apparatus is constructed from high-quality mild steel, powder-coated for durability, and transparent acrylic panels that serve as observation windows. The combination offers both robustness and clear visibility during testing.
Q: When should the L Box Apparatus be utilized in concrete testing?
A: The L Box Apparatus should be used when there is a need to assess the flowability and passing ability of Self-Compacting Concrete, especially in scenarios where concrete must move through confined or heavily reinforced spaces, such as during quality control in construction or research laboratories.
Q: Where can the L Box Apparatus be installed and operated?
A: Designed for bench-top mounting, the L Box Apparatus is ideal for laboratory environments. Its ambient operational temperature and humidity requirements make it suitable for most indoor laboratory settings across industrial, manufacturing, or academic sites.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the L Box Apparatus after a test?
A: After the SCC test is completed, the apparatus can be easily cleaned using the integrated drain system, which allows for rapid discharge of residual materials. The sliding gate and transparent panels can also be wiped clean to maintain clarity and accuracy for future tests.
Q: How many concrete specimens can be tested with each use?
A: The L Box Apparatus is designed to test one SCC specimen per operation, with a capacity of up to approximately 6 liters, ensuring compliance with standard test sample requirements.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the L Box Apparatus in SCC studies?
A: Key benefits include clear observation of concrete flow through the acrylic panel, robust metallic construction for long-term use, manual control for accurate immediate readings, and compliance with international SCC testing standards. Its portable, bench-top design and reliable export packing make it an excellent choice for labs worldwide.
