Vicat Softening Point Apparatus is used for determining the softening point of Polythene. The Vicat Softening Point is the arithmetic mean of the VSP of the test specimens. The apparatus consists of a heating bath, sample holding stand and a stirring rod. The heating bath is a double walled vessel. A glass stirring rod, one 1 kg weight and one EKE 072 Dial Gauge 0.01 x 25 mm are supplied. The rate of increase of heat is controlled by a Sunvic Energy Regulator supplied alongwith the apparatus.

The Flow Table is designed for determining the workability of portland cement concrete.The Flow Table top is 76.2 cm dia, finely machined from a solid brass casting. The integrally cast ribs are designed for support and strength. The stand is fabricated out of cast iron and is of sturdy construction. Holes for mounting on foundations are drilled in the base plate. The ground and hardened steel cam is designed to drop the table by 12.5 mm.

Consists of a torque head, adjustable in height by means of a lead screw rotated by a drive wheel to enable the vane to be lowered into the specimen. Rotation of the vane is by means of an electric motor which operates a worm gear arrangement turning the upper end of a calibrated torsion spring. The vane shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a resettable pointer which indicates the angle of torque on a dial graduated in degrees. The dial reading multiplied by spring factor gives the torque.

The tile sample is pressed under a specified load against a grinding path, strewn evenly with abrasive powder, revolving at the rate of 30 ± 1 rpm. At the end of 100 revolutions of the disc, the second parallel side of the tile is subjected to wear for an equal number of revolutions of the disc. The wear of the tile is measured using EKE48101 thickness measuring device (which is supplied at extra cost). The abrasion testing machine consists of a replaceable grinding path, fitted on to a disc rotating about its vertical axis. The rotating disc and the grinding path are enclosed by a circular tray. A bracket holds the specimen. The loading is by a counter- balanced lever. A funnel is provided to facilitate charging the grinding path with abrasive powder.

Product Code: EKE114-1   Rammer - circular faced 50 mm dia adjustable to 2.6 Kg or 4.9Kgweight.Drop - Adjustable to 310 mm or 450 mm.The equipment is suitable for operation on 220V,50 Hz, Single Phase,AC supply Invariably in every soil laboratory, compaction and penetration tests on soils are carried out regularly. The electrically operated mechanical compaction process eliminates the tedious hand compaction process and results in a considerable saving of time. With the rammersprovided and two stroke lengths available, the apparatus can be used to carry out all the normal compaction operations required in soil testing laboratories including the CBR tests.This is a new design motor driven mechanical compactor, useful for soil compaction in 100 mm or 150 mm dia moulds. The rammer travels across the mould and the table rotates the mould in equal steps on a stable base. The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginningof the test.
