Vee Bee Consistometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-CACTE-9457
Jlab Export is a leading Vee Bee Consistometer Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
A Vee Bee consistometer measures how much vibration a fresh concrete mix needs to change from a slumped cone into the shape of its container. The result, in Vee Bee degrees, is the time in seconds until the concrete touches the whole face of the acrylic disc. The same set reads the slump on its graduated rod.

Practicals with the Vee Bee Test
The test suits stiff mixes that show little or no slump. Students batch the concrete in a Laboratory Concrete Mixer, set the slump cone inside the container and fill it through the funnel in layers, rodding each one. They lift the cone, bring the disc down onto the concrete and read the slump on the rod scale.
Next they switch on the table and start a Digital Stop Watch. The watch is stopped when the concrete has spread to touch the entire underside of the disc. Repeating the test at two or three water contents shows how the time falls as the mix gets wetter. The same batches can then go through the Compaction Factor Apparatus to compare the two methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Vee Bee degrees?
One Vee Bee degree is one second of vibration. The reading is the time the concrete takes to remould from the slumped cone until it covers the whole face of the acrylic disc. A longer time means a stiffer, less workable mix.
Which concrete mixes is the Vee Bee test suited to?
It is meant for stiff, low-workability concrete, where a slump cone shows almost no drop and cannot tell mixes apart. Very wet mixes remould almost at once, so the time is too short to read with confidence.
Can the set also measure slump?
Yes. It comes with a slump cone open at both ends and a graduated rod. Once the cone is lifted, the rod is lowered onto the concrete and its scale shows the slump in millimetres.
How should each layer be rodded?
Rod each layer evenly over its area with the 16 mm tamping rod, which is 600 mm long and rounded at both ends. Let the rod just enter the layer below so the layers bond, then strike the top level with the rim of the cone.
Can the swivel arm be removed?
Yes. The swivel arm carries the funnel and guide and telescopes into a holder fixed to the base. It can be detached from the vibrating table, which helps when the container is cleaned or the set is moved.
