Acme Penetrometer

The Acme Penetrometer is a hydraulic reaction-type apparatus for determining the setting time of concrete with slump greater than zero by testing mortar sieved from the concrete mixture.  It also determines the effects of variables such as temperature, cement, mixture proportions, additions and admixtures upon the time of setting and hardening of concrete.  Additionally, the penetrometer’s design makes it easy to operate, being more efficient, with a longer gear rack.  All its needles are one length so the settings may remain the same.
