Reliable Motorized MechanismThis flow table is equipped with a powerful 0.5 HP electric motor and features an automated drop mechanism for consistent, repeatable testing. The motorized drive ensures accurate control over the 15-second test cycle, minimizing human error and improving overall process efficiency.
Precision and ComplianceCompliant with both IS: 1199 and ASTM C230, this equipment guarantees results aligned with international standards. The manual/mechanical scale display ensures flow diameter is measured with 1 mm accuracy and a resolution of 1 mm, providing reliable data for research and quality assurance.
Enhanced Durability and SafetyBuilt with a heavy cast iron table and powder coated construction, the flow table resists corrosion and withstands rigorous use. Advanced safety features, including overload protection and a secure locking mechanism, help protect both operator and sample integrity during testing.
FAQs of Flow Table for Concrete - Motorized:
Q: How is the flow test for concrete conducted using the motorized flow table?
A: To perform the test, a concrete specimen is placed in the brass/steel cone on the table. The operator uses push-button controls to start a 15-second cycle, during which the table drops at a 40 mm height for 15 revolutions. After the cycle, the spread of the concrete is measured to determine its flow characteristics.
Q: What benefits does the motorized mechanism offer over manual models?
A: The motorized mechanism ensures uniform, timed drops and consistent test cycles, helping eliminate operator variability. It increases repeatability and reduces physical effort, making it ideal for labs needing high precision and efficiency in concrete testing.
Q: When should this flow table be used in concrete testing?
A: This equipment should be used when evaluating the workability and consistency of fresh Portland cement concrete, particularly before casting in structural applications. It is essential for quality control in laboratories, manufacturing plants, and construction sites.
Q: Where can the motorized flow table be installed and operated?
A: Designed as a table-top, free-standing unit, the flow table can be set up in laboratories, quality control departments, or manufacturing facilities. It operates efficiently in environments with temperatures between 5C and 40C and humidity up to 90% RH.
Q: What safety features are included with the equipment?
A: The flow table includes overload protection to safeguard the motor, and a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental movement during testing. These features improve operational safety and protect both users and specimens.
Q: How does the flow table comply with recognized testing standards?
A: This equipment is manufactured to meet the requirements and testing protocols outlined in IS: 1199 and ASTM C230, ensuring that results are valid for international quality assurance and research documentation.
Q: What is the maximum specimen size and load capacity of the table?
A: The flow table accommodates specimens with a cone base diameter of 100 mm and a height of 50 mm, supporting up to 5 kg per test cycle. Its robust construction ensures stable performance across all measurements.
