Flow Table

Share  | 

It is a multi-purpose table designed for determining the flow of concrete cement. It is also available as hand-operated and electrically operated types.

Flow tables are used for different purposes. They can be used to determine the flow of cement and concrete. They can also be used to determine the workability of building limes and for measuring the consistency of Pozzolanas and also cement mortar and hydrated lime.

Types

Depending on their working principle, Flow Tables are generally of two types:

Hand Operated Flow Table

• This type consists of finely machined brass or steel table top of about 30 inch diameter.

• There are integral cast ribs designed for support and strength of table top.

• The stand of the table is fabricated out of cast iron and is of sturdy construction.

• There are holes for mounting in foundations that are drilled in the base plate.

• There is a ground and hardened steel cam, which is designed to lift and drop the table by 12.5 mm.

• Provided with hand wheel, which makes operation of the table simple and easy.

• Provided with one conical mould with handles of different specifications.

• Also provided with a tamping rod.

Motorized Flow Table
Specifications of the motorised flow table are same as that of hand operated. But this type is fitted with a electric motor, which is connected to the cam shaft through a reduction gear to give approximately 100 rpm. It is electrically operated to raise and drop the table top approximately 15 times in 15 seconds. It is suitable for operation on 230 Volts, 50 cycles A.C. supply.
