What Is the Vicat Apparatus Used For?
Cement plants, construction laboratories and civil engineering students use it first to find the water needed for standard consistency with the 10 mm plunger, then to time the initial and final set of the paste in the Vicat mould. The mould stands on the glass plate under the rod, and the thermometer records temperature during the test. Clean the needle after each penetration so that set paste does not build up on it.
