Dropping Ball Apparatus
Used to measure the consistency of cement mortars, Dropping Ball Apparatus allows 25 mm diameter acrylic ball to fall freely from a standard height of 250 mm into a specimen of mortar contained into a brass ring mould, and the surface of which has been carefully prepared.
The depth of the ball penetration into the mortar gives the specimen consistency.
The instrument comprises a Dropping Device mounted on a Stand, Acrylic Ball, Ø100 x 25mm Mould.
The base of the stand is machined.Chromed finishing.
Ball Penetration Measuring Device should be ordered separately. It formed by a tripod on which a dial gauge 25x0,01 mm is mounted. A device to adjust the height of the dial in relation to the tripod is also included.Chromed finishing.
