Specifications

What Is the Air Entertainment Meter Used For?

Small air bubbles deliberately entrained in concrete help it survive repeated freezing and thawing, yet surplus air weakens the hardened concrete, so the air content is kept within the mix limits. The bowl is filled with compacted concrete and the conical cover is clamped and sealed onto it; the space above the concrete is filled with water using the petcock and air valve, and pressure is applied with the pressure bulb. The drop in pressure shown on the gauge relates to the volume of air in the concrete. The standards listed are IS 1199 1969 and BS 1881-106.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity — the number of air meters required.
• Bowl capacity — 0.005, 0.007 or 0.01 cubic meter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bowl sizes are available?
The bowl is offered in capacities of 0.005, 0.007 and 0.01 cubic meter, each fitted with a sealed conical cover assembly.

How is pressure applied and read?
Pressure is applied to the sealed bowl through a pressure bulb on the conical cover, and the applied pressure is recorded on the pressure gauge.

What are the air valve and petcock for?
The air valve sits on the conical cover and the petcock lets water flow off, while the cover itself is fixed to the bowl and closed with a seal.

Which standards are listed for the meter?
The standards listed are IS 1199 1969 and BS 1881-106, and the whole unit is mounted on a flat base for use.

Why is the air content of concrete measured?
Entrained air improves the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing, while too much air reduces its strength, so the content is checked against the requirements of the mix.
