Learn how Vicatronic automatically determines the consistency and Vicat setting time of cement and mortar according to EN 196-3 and EN 480-2, with VicatPro software and video guide.
New Vicatronic: automatic Vicat apparatus for determining the setting time of cement and mortar (EN 196-3 and EN 480-2)
In laboratory testing of cement and mortar, setting time is one of the key characteristics as it directly affects the processing, installation and development of material properties. The Vicat determination method is already an industry standard, and automation is now increasingly sought after for its speed, repeatability and more precise monitoring of results.
That is why we are pleased to introduce Vicatronic – an automatic Vicat apparatus for determining the consistency and initial/final setting time of cement and mortar, in accordance with the EN 196-3 and EN 480-2 standards, with management and analysis of results through VicatPro software.
In this step-by-step guide you will learn how to:
- Determine the consistency of cement and mortar (EN 196-3);
- Measure the initial and final setting time (EN 196-3);
- Determine the setting time according to EN 480-2;
- Connect and manage results directly via VicatPro software.
