PLUNGER PENETRATION APPARATUS (C094)

Category: Cement

Product Code: C094

Category: CEMENT

Sub-Category: WORKABILITY & CONSISTENCY

 

  • The Plunger Penetration Apparatus is designed to determine the consistency of fresh mortar, lime, and masonry cement by measuring the depth of penetration of a standardized plunger into the material.
  • This method provides a reliable assessment of workability, ensuring that the material meets the required consistency for application in construction projects.
  • The apparatus consists of a sturdy steel base with a recess to accommodate the test cup and a vertical column supporting the plunger assembly, ensuring precise alignment during testing.
  • The plunger assembly, weighing 90 g, is designed to drop from a height of 100 mm, providing consistent and repeatable penetration measurements.
  • A tamper with specified dimensions is included to prepare the mortar sample uniformly within the test cup, enhancing the accuracy of the test results.
