About Flow Table
A
Flow Table is a standardized laboratory apparatus used in civil engineering and construction materials testing to determine the
consistency and workability of fresh cement mortar and concrete, especially those with high fluidity that are difficult to measure with a standard slump test.
Precision Design for Accurate TestingThe Flow Table's machined mild steel construction and concentric measurement rings provide a precise testing environment for evaluating the workability of cement mortar mixes. Its rigid, square design and consistent table drop mechanics ensure reliable, repeatable results, making it essential for laboratory use in quality control processes.
Durable and Easy to MaintainFinished with powder coating and high-quality paint, this flow table resists corrosion and daily wear, offering lasting performance in demanding laboratory settings. Its smooth, flat surface simplifies sample handling and cleaning, ensuring that every test can be performed efficiently and accurately.
FAQ's of Flow Table:
Q: How is the Flow Table used to test the workability of cement mortar?
A: To test workability, the prepared mortar sample is placed in the supplied mild steel flow mould on the table. After filling and tamping, the table is manually operated to lift and drop from a 12.5 mm height, typically for a set number of cycles, allowing the spread to be measured using the concentric circles on the surface.
Q: What are the main benefits of this corrosion-resistant Flow Table?
A: This Flow Table is manufactured from powder-coated mild steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and longevity even with frequent laboratory use. Its rigid construction ensures stable operation and consistent results, while the easy-to-clean flat surface enhances overall usability.
Q: When should I use a Flow Table in cement testing?
A: A Flow Table is essential during the quality control phase, especially when assessing the workability or fluidity of cement mortar mixes. Use it when precise flow characteristics need to be determined for mortar samples, often before construction begins or when comparing different batch properties.
Q: Where is the Flow Table typically applied?
A: Primarily designed for laboratory settings, the Flow Table is widely used in construction material testing labs, educational institutes, research centers, and quality assurance departments to ensure standardized workability testing of cement mortars.
Q: What accessories are provided with the Flow Table?
A: Each Flow Table comes with a robust mild steel flow mould and a tamper rod, enabling accurate sample preparation and ensuring compatibility with standard cement test procedures.
Q: What makes the operation of this Flow Table easy and reliable?
A: The Flow Table features a manual control mechanism and a simple lift-and-drop system, delivering a consistent 12.5 mm table drop height each time. Its smooth, flat surface allows for straightforward operation and repeatable testing results.
