1 SECTION 3 CONCRETE The accurate and satisfactory test of fresh and hardened concrete are essential elements for any type of building realization. The final quality of the concrete utilized in the structure depends from many variables like: workability, consistency, setting, time, volumic mass, air content, compressive strength, temperature, linear variations etc. Dick King Lab Supplies proposes a complete range of testing and research equipment on concrete to satisfy practically all the above quality variables, in compliance with Standard Specifications and the most know International Standards. In the second part of this section a complete range of instruments are available for non-destructive tests, to investigate and evaluate the progressive ageing and durability of concrete structures submitted to the chemical attacks, air pollution, time, weather etc.

2 COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINES In the concrete section we are in the position to supply the widest and most complete range of compression and flexural testing machine today available in the worldwide market, making Dick King Lab Supplies the leader in manufacturing testing machines. The versatility and flexibility of Our testing machines production range allow the end user to select and combine compression/flexural groups in order to satisfy and to personalize any specific requirements 100kN Beam; 200kN Beam/Curb; 1600kN Hand operated; 1800kN Econo; 2000kN; 3000kN; 5000kN PREC3FT COMPRESSION AND FLEXURAL TESTING MACHINES

6 KINGTEST VIBRATING TABLE 3 CUBE / 4 CUBE / 6 CUBE For determining the consistency and density of roller compacted concrete. VEBE CONSISTOMETER The Vebe consistometer method is based on the same principle of the simple slump cone test method, for the determination of the workability of concrete, but it has the advantage of a mechanized action. After removing the slump cone, the concrete undergoes a vibration to determine its slump

7 CONCRETE PENETROMETER Used to determine the setting time of the mortar fraction in concrete mixes with slump greater than zero, by testing mortar sieved from mix. CONCRETE POCKET DIAL PENETROMETER Used to evaluate the initial set of concrete and the effect of the retarders in the setting time. CONCRETE POCKET PENETROMETER Used for the evaluation for the initial set of the concrete mortar.

8 AIR ENTRAINMENT METER It consists of an aluminium vessel with built in hand operated pressure pump, connected to the measuring gauge showing directly the air content in percentage. BULK DENSITY MEASURES Used to determine the weight per cubic metre of freshly mixed and compacted concrete. Measure 1 litre capacity Measure 3 litre capacity Measure 5 litre capacity Measure 10 litre capacity Measure 15 litre capacity Measure 30 litre capacity

9 BOYANCY FRAME WITH BASKET, BALANCE AND POLYCRATE NS120 Used for determination density of hardened concrete. DIGITAL INFRARED THERMOMETER WITH TEMPERATURE PROBES Used to automatically measure and store the temperature at different positions in precast units to determine the maturity of the concrete.

10 KINGTEST PLASTI-CUBE MOULDS mm SQUARE mm SQUARE 3. TAMPING BAR 25mm SQ X 400mm LONG (Mass of 1.8Kg ± 0.1Kg) 4. TAMPING ROD 16mm DIA X 600mm LONG WITH HEMISPHERICAL POINT The moulds are manufactured from rubber based nylon material to form a tough robust one piece mould which is light and easy to handle, will not break if dropped by accident, save a huge amount of time as no stripping and reassembling is necessary, no moving parts. Produces a flat surface to crush on and will last indefinitely if used properly as manufacturers instructions. Transport costs are not a major factor when sending moulds to remote sites as they are considerably lighter than cast iron moulds. The moulds are ideal when used on a vibrating table as perfect cubes can be produced that conform to the relevant local and international standards for tolerances. These cube moulds do not rust and are excellent for coastal applications where rust plays a major role in damaging the inside faces of cast iron cube moulds, thus having a shortened life span. As the mould is lubricated prior to pouring concrete in the cubes are very easy to remove. In short, these moulds are a technological break through in the Concrete Industry and the response has been overwhelming wherever offered and sold
