Concrete Testing Equipment:

Concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates, or rocks. The paste, composed of portland
cement and water, coats the surface of the fine (small) and coarse (larger) aggregates.

 Slump Cone - A mould in the form of a frustum of a cone used to

test the workability of concrete (slump test)
 Pressure type B meter - measures the air content of fresh
concrete where the pressure is applied to the sample to compress
the entrained air in the pores
 Compression testing machine - Used in testing compressive
strength of a concrete using concrete cubes
 Flexural testing machine - Used to determine the flexural or
bending strength of concrete
 Accelerated curing tank - This tank has been designed for
accelerated concrete strength curing
 Freexe thaw tester - a cabinet like a freezer where a cured
concrete specimens are placed
 Tamping rod - round, straight steel rod used with concrete
cylinder molds, slump cones, and unit weight tests.
 Windsor probe - used to evaluate the compressive strength of in-
place concrete. This non-destructive test can be used on fresh or
mature concrete with equal effectiveness.
