    Air meter leakage

    Mike, As Ron said. There is no allowance for leakage. I have even had some CCRL inspectors pump up to initial pressure, leave meter on the bench overnight and check the next day. If you are having trouble finding the leak, i have found that if you pump it up, then submerge in water ( say a...

    ASTM C1260

    I have been running C1260's on some aggregates known to be innocuous and have been getting results higher than typically seen for this aggregate. We are using 20% ash mitigation, but still high. I have done some round-robin testing with other labs and found that results are all over the map...

    cleaning concrete testing equip

    Spagetti, your absolutely right. I guess i wasn't clear enough on that point. You shouldn't use the WD-40 on the inside of the equipment. But, when applied to the exterior, it minimizes the amount of concrete that can build-up on the meters. WD-40 is o.k. on the inside of steel cylinder or...

    Chloride Ion Testing

    I'm hoping someone out there can help me with chloride ion testing of concrete. My company purchased a pH meter from Gilson (HM-347) a few years ago for the purpose of conducting our own testing, but never used it. Now my boss is requiring that we start conducting our own tests rather than...
