Product Code : TVT-CTE-10497
The Air Entrainment Meter Apparatus (Water Column Type) determines the air content of fresh concrete using a cast-aluminium-alloy vessel with a transparent scale tube and pressure indicator, at a 5-litre sample capacity.
How It Works
A known volume of fresh concrete is placed in the vessel, which is then sealed and pressurised; the resulting change read on the transparent water-column scale tube is calibrated directly in percentage air content, based on the compressibility of the entrapped air relative to the incompressible concrete solids and water.

Applications
Used to determine the air content of fresh concrete per ASTM C231 and EN 12350-7 (pressure method), important for verifying correct air entrainment in concrete designed for freeze-thaw resistance or specific workability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is air content important in concrete?
Controlled air entrainment improves concrete’s resistance to freeze-thaw damage and can affect workability; too much or too little air can compromise durability or strength, so accurate air content measurement is part of routine quality control.
What sample size does this meter use?
5 litres of fresh concrete.
How does this differ from the 7 and 8 litre Air Entrainment Meters?
This is the smaller-capacity, water-column-type meter (5 litres); the 7 and 8 litre models use a larger sample size and a direct pressure-gauge reading rather than a water-column scale.
