V Funnel Test Apparatus
V Funnel Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/18) is a stainless steel funnel on a supporting stand used to evaluate the flow time of freshly mixed self-compacting concrete in concrete testing laboratories. Mix designers and students use the flow time as a practical indicator of SCC flowability; the test is not suitable when the maximum aggregate size exceeds 22.4 mm. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the V Funnel Test Used For?
The funnel is filled with fresh self-compacting concrete while the discharge lid is closed. The lid is then opened and the time taken for the concrete to flow out is recorded: a short flow time points to a very fluid mix, while a long time suggests a more viscous concrete or one that is starting to block at the outlet.
Dampen the inside of the funnel before filling so a dry surface does not hold back the first part of the flow, and keep a stopwatch ready for the moment the lid opens. Some laboratories repeat the test after the concrete has rested in the funnel to look for signs of segregation. As test and measurement instruments in India go, the V funnel is one of the simplest ways to compare SCC mixes side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the V Funnel Test Apparatus measure?
The V Funnel Test Apparatus measures the flow time of freshly mixed self-compacting concrete, meaning the time the concrete takes to run out of the stainless steel funnel once the discharge lid is opened. Flow time helps compare the flowability of SCC mixes.
What aggregate size can be tested in the V Funnel Test Apparatus?
The V Funnel Test Apparatus is not suitable for concrete whose maximum aggregate size exceeds 22.4 mm. For mixes with larger stones, choose a different workability test, because oversized aggregate can block the funnel outlet and distort the flow time.
What is the V Funnel Test Apparatus made of?
The V Funnel Test Apparatus consists of a stainless steel funnel placed vertically on a supporting stand. Its discharge is equipped with a lid that can be momentarily opened, which lets the operator start the flow at a precise moment for timing.
Who manufactures the V Funnel Test Apparatus?
The V Funnel Test Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and replacement-part enquiries come directly from the manufacturer.
What else is needed to run a V funnel test?
To run a test with the V Funnel Test Apparatus you also need a stopwatch to time the discharge, a container to catch the concrete, and a scoop or bucket to fill the funnel. Mention any of these you need in the same enquiry.
How do I get a quotation for the V Funnel Test Apparatus?
