Premium Vicat Needle Apparatus for Cement & Concrete Testing

Ensure absolute compliance with Indian Standards during cement testing with the Primetek Vicat Apparatus. This essential civil engineering laboratory instrument provides an accurate, mechanical method to determine how quickly cement sets and its water-consistency requirements. The inclusion of a hydraulic dashpot eliminates human error by preventing the sudden dropping of the needles, safeguarding both your samples and the needle tips.

Key Features & Advantages:

• Integrated Dashpot Mechanism: Allows for the gentle, uniform lowering of the movable rod, preventing accidental impacts and ensuring precise penetration depth readings.
• Standardized Testing Components: Comes equipped with high-accuracy initial and final setting needles engineered to exact dimensional tolerances.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged metallic frame designed to withstand the harsh environments of busy quality control and academic laboratories.
