Automatic Vicat apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Automatic Vicat apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/54) is a programmable touch-screen instrument used to run cement setting-time tests without an operator in cement plant, research and construction-materials laboratories. It can repeat penetrations as often as every 10 seconds and calculates initial and final setting times at user-programmed penetration depth limits. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India for local and overseas buyers.

Specifications

What Is the Automatic Vicat Apparatus Used For?

A manual Vicat test needs someone to lower the needle and note the result at regular intervals for hours; the automatic apparatus performs the penetrations itself and records the depth each time, so initial and final setting times are read consistently. It suits cement plants, ready-mix and research laboratories, and university departments that run many setting-time tests or need electronic records.

For buyers comparing test and measurement instruments in India, the practical points are data handling and expansion. Results can be saved to the supplied pen drive, printed on the optional integrated printer, or sent to a PC, and a LAN hub lets up to 32 units run from a single computer. Keep the needle clean between runs, using the needle cleaning device where fitted, and confirm the accessory pattern for your standard before testing.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Accessory pattern: EN or ASTM/AASHTO parts
• Whether the integrated graphic printer is required
• Optional kits: in-water testing kit, needle cleaning device, consistency or gypsum probes
• Number of units and whether they will be networked to one PC through a LAN hub

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Automatic Vicat apparatus calculate?
The Automatic Vicat apparatus (SLE/CE/54) automatically calculates the initial and final setting times of cement at penetration depth limits that the user programs. With the optional integrated graphic printer, it can print the test result and the setting-time plot.

How often can the Automatic Vicat apparatus make a penetration?
The Automatic Vicat apparatus has a minimum penetration rate of 10 seconds, so penetrations can be repeated as often as every 10 seconds. Test procedures can be customised and stored to match user-defined requirements.

Can several Automatic Vicat units be connected to one computer?
Yes. The Automatic Vicat apparatus has a LAN port for direct connection to a PC, or to a LAN hub creating a network of up to 32 independent units controlled by a single PC. One LAN cable is included, and data can also be saved to the supplied pen drive.
