FLOW TABLE

Flow tables are used for determining the flow of consistency of portland cement concrete. A mass of the material with an initial fixed diameter is allowed to fall from a fixed height. The resulting increase in diameter is compared with its original diameter and empirical data about fluidity is permutated.

FLOW TABLE FOR CEMENT CONCRETE (HAND OPERATED)

Conforms to I S : 1199. This instrument is recommended for concrete, where the nominal size of coarse aggregates does not exceed 38 mm. It is comprised of a flow table top of 762 mm. diameter, machined from a brass casting and fitted on a heavy duty cast iron frame. A cam action provides a free fall of 12.5 mm. to the table. A brass conical mould of 120 mm. height with a base diameter of 250 mm. and a top diameter of 170 mm. is also provided, along with a tamping rod of 16 mm. diameter x 600 mm. long.
