About Vicat Needle Apparatus

Vicat Needle Apparatus: MTCT-22

Vicat needle apparatus is used to find out the consistency, initial setting time and final setting time of the cement. In the normal consistency test we have to find out the amount of water to be added to the cement to form a cement paste of normal consistency. Vicats apparatus consists of an arrangement to hold the plunger of 10 mm diameter and two other needles which are made to freely fall into a mould filled with the cement paste and the amount of penetration of the needles of plunder can be noted using the vertical graduations from 0 mm to 50 mm. When the penetration is of about 42 to 45 mm or when the reading on the vertical graduation is about 5 mm to 7 mm that means cement is of normal consistency. Generally the water required to form a paste of normal consistency is 30%.

Precision and Compliance in Cement Testing

The Vicat Needle Apparatus meets rigorous Indian and international standards (IS: 5513, ASTM C187), guaranteeing reliability and accuracy in cement consistency and setting time tests. With a manual control mode and a precise graduated scale, it provides immediate feedback critical for quality assurance in construction and research environments. Durable materials and removable components ensure easy maintenance and long-term stability.

Robust Design for Laboratory Efficiency

This equipment features a sturdy, powder-coated or polished steel finish, a non-corroding metal base, and brass/steel moulds. Its compact benchtop design and removable parts allow for seamless setup, cleaning, and storage. The manual operation eliminates the need for external power, making it ideal for varying laboratory conditions throughout India and beyond.

FAQs of Vicat Needle Apparatus:

Q: How is the Vicat Needle Apparatus used in cement testing?

A: The Vicat Needle Apparatus evaluates the setting time and consistency of cement by measuring how deeply a standard plunger or needle penetrates into a cement paste specimen. This is done manually using the graduated scale, following IS: 4031 and IS: 5513 procedures.

Q: What are the benefits of using a manual Vicat Needle Apparatus?

A: Manual operation delivers immediate feedback without relying on electricity, enhancing reliability even in locations with inconsistent power supply. Its benchtop design and easy-to-read scale support precise and efficient measurements.

Q: When should cement be tested with the Vicat Needle Apparatus?

A: Cement should be tested before use in construction, research, or quality control to ensure it meets the required consistency and setting time, as stipulated by relevant standards. Testing is typically done at ambient laboratory temperatures and specified humidity.

Q: Where is the Vicat Needle Apparatus typically installed and used?

A: This equipment is commonly mounted on laboratory benches in cement factories, quality-control labs, research institutions, and construction material testing facilities throughout India and worldwide.

Q: What is the process for conducting a test with this apparatus?

A: Prepare the cement paste following the approved standards, fill the Vicat mould, and set it on the non-corroding metal base plate. Lower the plunger or needle manually until it contacts the paste, then record the penetration depth using the graduated scale. This process helps determine the cements consistency and setting characteristics.

Q: Can the apparatus be used for multiple specimen sizes or types?

A: The apparatus is specifically designed for use with the standard Vicat mould (80 mm height, 70 mm diameter at base) and accommodates one specimen at a time, as required by cement testing standards.
