Flow cone apparatus

The Flow Cone Apparatus is a device that measures the flow properties of various fluid materials, including mortars, grouts, muds, and other fluid combinations. It is made of a metal stand that supports a stainless steel cone with an interior diameter of 150 mm and a height of 280 mm. When fitted with a 10 mm nozzle, the total height of the equipment is 350 mm.

The flow cone apparatus includes a 150 mm sieve with a 1.5 mm opening, a 10 mm nozzle with a fitting bush, and a 1-liter cup. To satisfy diverse test needs, the equipment can be equipped with nozzles with internal diameters of 8 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, and 13 mm.

The Flow Cone Apparatus is designed to test the flow parameters of various fluid materials in order to better understand their behavior and applicability for diverse applications. By pouring the fluid material into the cone and allowing it to flow through the nozzle, the time it takes for a certain amount of material to pass through may be calculated. This information can be used to compute flow rate and other essential qualities like viscosity and consistency.

The Flow Cone Apparatus is a versatile and commonly used equipment in the construction and engineering industries, where the flow properties of materials such as concrete, grout, and drilling muds are crucial to their performance and application. The equipment contributes to the overall success of construction and engineering projects by offering a standardized way for measuring these qualities, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of these materials.
