QUANTITIES FOR THICKENING THE MIX

For CEMENT in BULK and using METRIC units

If explanation is required go to the ILLUSTRATED VERSION

ENTER DETAILS OF MIX CURRENTLY IN SYSTEM:

WATER : CEMENT ratio (by vol)= : 1

Volume of grout in AGITATOR = Litres

Volume of grout in LINES (previously measured when lines filled) = Litres

After entering these details, click on the CALCULATE button.

TOTAL VOLUME of grout to be thickened ( agitator + lines) = Litres    The mix used in these calculations is the recommended next thicker one. It is : 1

The thickened mix will be obtained by making one of the following make-up mixes and adding it to the grout currently in the gear.

CEMENT (kg)=          50             100             150            200            250 kg

WATER =               Litres Litres Litres Litres Litres

W:C of make-up mix: 1        : 1        : 1        : 1        : 1

Vol of make-up mix  Litres Litres Litres Litres Litres

Vol after thickeningLitres Litres Litres Litres Litres

  Zero denotes mix would be too thick to mix even in a high-speed high-shear mixer.
