Air Entrainment Meter
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10334
Air Entrainment Meter (code EL-CTLE-10334) is a pressure-type meter used to determine the air content of fresh concrete. It has a flanged cylindrical vessel of 7 or 8 liter capacity and a cover assembly with pressure gauge, air pump, valves and quick action clamping, and the gauge reads air content directly to the nearest 0.1% up to 6%, 0.2% from 6 to 8% and 0.5% from 8 to 15%.

What Is the Air Entrainment Meter Used For?
Entrained air improves the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing but lowers its strength, so the air content of a fresh mix is checked against the specified limits. The operator fills the vessel with concrete in layers, compacts each layer with the tamping rod, strikes off the top with the straight edge and clamps the cover in place; air is pumped into the chamber to a set pressure and released into the concrete, and the gauge then shows the air content directly. The calibration pipes are used to check the gauge, and readings do not change with barometric pressure.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of air content meters required.
- Vessel capacity — the 7 liter or the 8 liter flanged vessel.
- Separate items — calibration vessels and a square-section compacting bar, which are ordered separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Air Entrainment Meter measure?
It determines the air content of fresh concrete, read directly from the pressure gauge on the cover assembly once the vessel has been filled and clamped.
How finely can the air content be read?
The gauge reads to the nearest 0.1% up to 6% air, to 0.2% between 6 and 8%, and to 0.5% between 8 and 15%.
Do changes in barometric pressure affect the reading?
No. The meter is not affected by changes in barometric pressure, which allows the air content to be read directly from the gauge.
What accessories come with it?
It is supplied complete with a straight edge, inner and outer (J-type) calibration pipes, a tamping rod 16 mm in diameter and 600 mm long, and a special carrying case.
What has to be ordered separately?
Calibration vessels and a compacting bar with a square section are not part of the standard supply and should be ordered separately when they are needed.
Which standards are listed for it?
The standards listed are EN 12350-7, ASTM C231 and AASHTO T152, and the vessel is offered in 7 or 8 liter capacity.
