HM-372 Flow Cone Set shown with MA-48 Beaker
Please refer to ASTM C939 Standard Test Method for Flow of
Grout for Preplaced-Aggregate Concrete (Flow Cone Method)
for exact test procedure.
Grout Flow Cones measure the flowability of hydraulic grout
used in preplaced aggregate concrete. Flowability is measured by
time of discharge of a 1.725L sample of grout through an 0.5in
(12.7mm) ID discharge tube orifice from the cone. The cast alumi-
num Flow Cones all come with an adjustable point gauge assem-
bly to indicate initial sample level.
Gilson Grout Flow Cones can be purchased in a number of dif-
ferent configurations best suited for your application and needs
and feature replaceable orifice discharge tubes:
HM-372 Grout Flow Cone Set is supplied complete to meet
ASTM C939 requirements. An 0.5in (12.7mm) Orifice is already
installed, and a 3-Legged Steel Support Stand, and 2L (2.1qt)
stainless steel Beaker for use as a receiving container are also
included.
HM-373 Grout Flow Cone Set is identical to the HM-372 set,
but has a 0.75in (19mm) Orifice to be used with alternate test
methods.
Set Components:
• HM-372A Painted Steel Stand is 20.5in (414mm) high.
(See assembly instructions below).
• MA-42 2L Stainless Steel Beaker is rugged construction
and receives grout flow from cone during test. Graduated
to 2,000ml, with handle. Larger MA-48 6qt. container is
available separately for continuous testing
HM-372B Grout Flow Cone is fitted with HMA-146 0.5in Orifice
to meet ASTM requirements. Stand and Beakers can be pur-
chased separately.
HM-373B Grout Flow Cone is fitted with HMA-147 0.75in Ori-
fice for use with alternate test methods. Stand and Beakers can
be purchased separately.
HM-371 Grout Flow Cone w/No Orifice does not include an
Orifice to regulate flow. It can be fitted with the HMA-146 0.5in
Orifice for ASTM testing, or the HMA-147 0.75in Orifice for other
methods. Orifices are purchased separately. Before use, install
the selected Orifice fixture using the four screws provided.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• Immediately after each use, thoroughly clean the cone, ori-
fice and point gauge assembly with water and a medium-
stiff bristle brush. Allowing mortar and cement paste to dry
and accumulate on the cone, orifices and gauge may affect
accuracy.
• Do not use metal scrapers or wire brushes when cleaning
as these may damage the surfaces.
• Using a thin film of light grease on the threads of the point
gauge will make it easier to operate and reduce cleaning
effort.
