Working Principle:
The apparatus measures the flow of cement mortar by subjecting it to controlled vertical drops. The resulting spread diameter is used to evaluate the workability and consistency of the mix.
Precision and ComplianceThis motorized flow table is meticulously designed to conform to IS: 5512 and ASTM C230/C230M, ensuring reliable and repeatable results for each test cycle. Its powder-coated, hardened mild steel surface guarantees durability, while the integrated timer and digital or manual counter streamline testing sequences for maximum consistency.
User-Friendly FunctionalityEquipped with a push-button operation, semi-automatic workflow, and manual/analog display, the Flow Table simplifies the testing process. The included flow mould and tamper help users achieve accurate sample preparation, improving laboratory efficiency and safety during daily cement mortar evaluations.
Versatile Laboratory SolutionIdeal for both educational institutions and professional labs, this motorized flow table supports standard cement mortar testing with high precision and minimal power consumption. Its robust construction, stable non-slip base, and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for long-term, frequent use while maintaining low operational noise.
FAQ's of Flow Table Motorized:
Q: How do I operate the Motorized Flow Table for a standard cement mortar test?
A: To operate the Flow Table, assemble the flow mould and tamper on the table top. Place the cement mortar specimen in the flow mould (100 mm diameter x 50 mm height). Secure the set, then use the manual push-button to initiate the 15-drop cycle as per IS: 5512. The integrated counter and timer will assist you in keeping track of the test duration and drops.
Q: What procedures does the Flow Table follow to ensure standardized cement mortar testing?
A: Testing follows the IS: 5512 and ASTM C230/C230M standards. The number of drops, drop height (12.5 0.25 mm), stroke length, and test speed (30 1 rpm) are all precisely controlled. After 15 drops in 15 seconds, the spread of the mortar is measured for its flow value, ensuring consistent and comparable results.
Q: Where is this motorized flow table most effectively used?
A: This equipment is primarily designed for laboratory and educational settings where consistency, reliability, and safety are priorities. Its semi-automatic control and table-top mounting make it conveniently usable in standard testing labs, teaching laboratories, and quality control environments in the construction industry.
Q: What benefits does the Flow Table offer in cement mortar testing?
A: The Flow Table ensures quick, consistent, and accurate evaluation of mortar workability or flow. Features such as rapid-response manual controls, accuracy of 1 mm, and a durable non-slip base provide reliable performance. Additionally, its low noise, energy efficiency, and corrosion-resistant finish contribute to a comfortable and long-lasting testing operation.
Q: When should I use the Motorized Flow Table for testing?
A: Whenever there is a need to determine the workability or flow property of cement mortar, the Motorized Flow Table is the preferred choice. Use it for routine quality control, research, educational demonstrations, or whenever compliance with IS: 5512 or ASTM C230/C230M is required.
Q: How many specimens can be tested at one time on this flow table?
A: Only one specimen can be evaluated at a time using the supplied standard flow mould. This promotes accuracy and adherence to standardized testing protocols while preventing cross-contamination between samples.
