Specific Gravity Frames EN 12390-7

Application

The Specific Gravity Frame is used in conjunction with a suitable electronic balance for specific gravity determination of fresh and hardened concrete and aggregates. Consisting of a purpose built robust frame designed to support the electronic balance.

The lower part of the frame incorporates a moving platform, which carries the water tank allowing the test specimens to be weighed in both air and water. The balance is not included in the test set and must be ordered separately. Any type of electronic balance fitted with under-bench weighing facility can be used.

Balance, Cradle and Density Basket should be ordered separately.

Standards:

EN 12390-7 Testing hardened concrete. Density of hardened concrete

EN 1097-6 Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates. Determination of particle density and water absorption
