HTNK-01 Automatic Touch Screen Cement Vicat Consistency Meter
Superior High-End Craftsmanship & Durable Construction
Our HTNK-01 intelligent Vicat tester adopts integrated ABS one-piece injection molding for the main cabinet, with smooth anti-corrosion surface that resists cement slurry stains and long-term lab chemical erosion. The internal transmission core applies precision ball screw drive technology, paired with digitally calibrated 300g standard sliding rod assembly machined by CNC lathe, strictly controlled within ±1g weight tolerance to eliminate test deviation caused by unqualified counterweights in cheap manual devices.
The sample holding tray is polished 304 stainless steel, matched with thickened aluminum alloy cement paste mould, anti-rust and wear-resistant for thousands of repeated tests. Every electronic component adopts industrial-grade touch control module and stable mainboard, with strict aging testing before factory delivery, supporting 24-hour continuous lab operation without failure. Compact vertical structure with anti-slip rubber foot pads ensures stable placement on any lab countertop, no shaking during automatic rod falling to guarantee precise penetration data.
Ultra Convenient & Labor-Saving Operation
Breaking the limits of traditional manual Vicat instruments that require manual lifting, timing and reading, this fully automatic model realizes one-click full-process testing. Built-in pre-set standard test programs complying with GB/T1346, EN 196-3 and ASTM C191, users do not need to manually calculate water demand ratios or record timing data. The 7-inch HD capacitive touch screen displays visualized operation menus separately for consistency test and setting time test; clear graphic icons replace complicated physical buttons, avoiding frequent button aging failure.
After loading cement paste sample into the mould and placing it on the tray, simply tap the corresponding test mode on the screen. The machine will automatically control the free fall of the test rod, record penetration depth in real time, auto-calculate standard consistency water consumption percentage, and track the exact moment of initial and final setting. All test results are automatically stored in the built-in memory, supporting data export and printing for formal laboratory inspection reports, greatly cutting manual recording workload and reducing human error.
Extremely Simple Operation Logic, Zero Learning Cost
No complicated mechanical adjustment or professional operation training is required for new staff. The touch screen interface comes with built-in digital operation guide and standard test flow animation demonstration. Two core functional modules are clearly divided on the screen: Consistency Test and Setting Time Test, with large color buttons for easy recognition.
Operators only need three basic steps to finish a complete test: prepare cement paste sample → place mould on the base tray → click the target test program on screen. The equipment automatically completes all follow-up steps including rod descending, depth detection, timing and data computation. Even novice lab technicians can master full operation within 5 minutes, effectively lowering enterprise training time and labor cost.
Stable & Accurate Working Principle
The core testing principle follows international standard cement performance detection rules: the 300g standard sliding test rod freely drops vertically under its own gravity to penetrate the cement paste sample. A high-precision displacement sensor installed inside the drive structure captures real-time penetration depth data of the rod into the cement slurry.
For standard consistency testing: the system judges whether the penetration depth reaches the standard range, automatically adjusts and calculates the optimal water addition proportion to achieve cement normal consistency. For setting time testing: the tester continuously performs timed penetration detection. When the test needle can only penetrate a fixed shallow depth into the paste, the system marks the initial setting time; when the needle leaves no circular indentation on the sample surface, the machine records the final setting time automatically.
All data is processed by high-speed industrial microchip, with 0.01mm depth detection accuracy. The whole test process strictly eliminates artificial visual reading errors and manual timing delays of old-fashioned instruments, providing highly repeatable, traceable and authoritative test data for cement factories, construction labs and third-party inspection institutions.
FAQ
Q1: Which International Standards Can This HTNK-01 Cement Consistency Meter Comply With?
A: It fully supports three mainstream global testing standards: China GB/T1346-2024, European EN 196-3 and American ASTM C191. You can switch corresponding standard test modes directly on the touch screen according to your local inspection requirements.
Q2: Do I Need To Manually Adjust The Sliding Rod Weight Before Testing?
A: No adjustment is needed. The sliding rod assembly is CNC calibrated to a fixed total weight of 300±1g before delivery. The built-in precision drive system controls free fall automatically, no manual counterweight adjustment required.
Q3: Can This Machine Save And Export Test Data For Lab Reports?
A: Yes. The device has large built-in storage to store hundreds of groups of test records, including sample serial number, test date, standard consistency water ratio, initial & final setting time. It supports data export via USB and external printer connection to output formal test reports.
Q4: Is Professional Training Required For Staff To Operate This Vicat Tester?
A: Operation is extremely simple with zero threshold. The touch screen has graphic operation tutorials and split functional modules. New operators can finish a full independent test within 5 minutes without professional technical training.
Q5: What's The Service Life Of The Wearing Parts Like Test Mould And Tray?
A: The sample tray is made of 304 stainless steel and the test mould is thickened aluminum alloy, both anti-corrosion against cement slurry. Under normal daily laboratory use, the service life can reach more than 5 years, and we supply replaceable spare moulds and test rods as after-sales accessories.
