A Vibro Consistometer (also known as a Vebe Consistometer) is a laboratory device used to assess the workability and consistency of fresh concrete by measuring the time required for a concrete sample to deform under controlled vibration. This test is particularly useful for mixes with low to very low workability, such as those used in roller-compacted concrete.
Key Features
- Vibrating Table: Operates at a fixed amplitude and frequency to provide consistent vibration.
- Slump Cone: Used to shape the concrete sample before testing.
- Graduated Rod and Transparent Disc: Measures the time it takes for the concrete to deform under vibration.
- Power Supply: 240 V
Specifications
- Vibrator Frequency: Approximately 3000 ± 200 hits per minute.
- Amplitude: Around 0.5 ± 0.10 mm.
- Weight: 50kg
