VICAT APPARATUS | ASTM C187 • ASTM C191 • BS 4550 (ELC-040)
▪ The reaction between cement and water are the primary causes of
the setting of concrete. The setting time for cement and concrete is
determined using the Vicat Apparatus.
▪ By measuring the settingtime for concrete/cement via the penetration
resistance method (Vicat Apparatus),the time the concrete/cement
can stay fresh can be determined. This time indicates the period
the mix can stay in the mixer before pouring it into the moulds/
frameworks.
▪ Completewith the frame, mould, initial setting time needle,
consistency plunger, glass thermometer and the base glass plate.
