V-Funnel Apparatus

Product Code : MSI 2011

Product Description:

The V-Funnel Test Apparatus is a foundational quality control instrument used to determine the flow time and structural viscosity of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). Manufactured in full alignment with BS EN 12350-9 testing guidelines, this apparatus features a heavy-gauge stainless steel or powder-coated mild steel V-shaped hopper mounted securely on a rigid structural steel support stand. The bottom of the funnel is fitted with a smooth, quick-release, watertight trapdoor mechanism. By recording the exact number of seconds it takes for a fresh mix to pass completely through the funnel, labs can identify early aggregate segregation or excessive mix friction

Working Principle

Fresh self-compacting concrete is poured into the V-Funnel through the filling hopper while the discharge opening remains closed. Once filled, the discharge lid is opened, allowing the concrete to flow freely under gravity. The flow time, measured in seconds, indicates the viscosity and flow characteristics of the concrete. Shorter flow times generally represent higher flowability, while longer times may indicate increased viscosity or reduced workability.
