Density of Fresh and Hardened Concrete
Product Code : EL-CTLE-10919
Density of Fresh and Hardened Concrete (code EL-CTLE-10919) is a buoyancy balance set-up for finding the density of concrete by weighing a specimen in air and then in water. A lifting instrument raises the water tank, which rests on a platform, to the height of the frame so that the specimen hanging on a cradle below the balance is immersed, and the balance can also serve for general laboratory weighing.

What Is the Density of Fresh and Hardened Concrete Used For?
Density is a basic property of concrete and is linked with its strength, durability and resistance to permeability, so it is checked on specimens as part of routine testing. By the buoyancy method the specimen is weighed in air, then placed on the cradle and weighed while immersed; the loss in mass equals the mass of water displaced, which gives the specimen's volume and hence its density. For regular hardened specimens the density can instead be found from measured dimensions and mass. The same arrangement is used for the specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregate, and as a general laboratory balance.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of buoyancy balance sets required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the buoyancy balance find concrete density?
The specimen is weighed in air and again while suspended in water on the cradle; the difference gives the volume of water displaced, and density follows from mass divided by volume.
How is the specimen immersed?
The water tank sits on a platform, and a lifting instrument raises it to the frame height so that the specimen on the cradle below the balance is immersed.
Can the density of hardened concrete be found without immersion?
Yes. Hardened concrete density can also be found from dimensional checks followed by calculation and weighing, as well as by the buoyancy method with air and water.
What other uses does the equipment have?
It can serve as a general weighing device for the laboratory and is also used in determining the specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregate.
