Overview

The Vector VTR-1023 automatic Vicat X12 delivers simultaneous consistency and setting-time testing across twelve independent stations for high-throughput cement laboratories — a twelve-mould automatic Vicat line aligned with EN 196-3 and ASTM C191.

Tests up to twelve specimens in parallel to shorten total cycle time while recording the full setting timeline. A 300 g free-fall needle weight, adjustable drop height, and programmable penetration steps support repeatable results from routine QC through R&D.

0.1 mm penetration resolution, VicatMaster software for real-time monitoring, PDF reports, and a USB interface — penetration step intervals from 1–999 minutes.
