ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Grout Flow Cones and Sets

HM-372, HM-372B, HM-373, HM-373B & HM-371

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 owability 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 orice from the cone. The cast alumi­num Flow Cones all come with an adjustable point gauge assem­bly to indicate initial sample level.

Gilson Grout Flow Cones can be purchased in a number of dif­ferent congurations best suited for your application and needs
and feature replaceable orice discharge tubes:

HM-372 Grout Flow Cone Set is supplied complete to meet
ASTM C939 requirements. An 0.5in (12.7mm) Orice 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) Orice 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 ow 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 tted with HMA-146 0.5in Orice
to meet ASTM requirements. Stand and Beakers can be pur­chased separately.

HM-373B Grout Flow Cone is tted with HMA-147 0.75in Ori­ce for use with alternate test methods. Stand and Beakers can
be purchased separately.

HM-371 Grout Flow Cone w/No Orice does not include an
Orice to regulate ow. It can be tted with the HMA-146 0.5in
Orice for ASTM testing, or the HMA-147 0.75in Orice for other
methods. Orices are purchased separately. Before use, install

the selected Orice xture using the four screws provided.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Immediately after each use, thoroughly clean the cone, ori­ce and point gauge assembly with water and a medium­sti bristle brush. Allowing mortar and cement paste to dry
and accumulate on the cone, orices and gauge may aect
accuracy.

• Do not use metal scrapers or wire brushes when cleaning
as these may damage the surfaces.

• Using a thin lm of light grease on the threads of the point
gauge will make it easier to operate and reduce cleaning
eort.
