    Therefore SONO-DIS offers users 4 different possible settings, which can be entered as a CHAR parameter in the SONO-DIS handheld device. The 4 possible CHAR parameters are: Fine (grading curve C), Normal (grading curve B), Coarse (grading curve A), Special (gap-graded U) Endress+Hauser Page 13...
  • Page 14: General G-Set Parameter

    The G-Set value is typically approx. -10 liters/m assuming a core water content of 15 liters/m . These -10 liters/m are automatically subtracted from the measurement in SONO-DIS so that the reading in SONO-DIS matches the effective water content. Page 14 Endress+Hauser...

    Up to 15 calibration curves in total can be managed for materials such as suspensions, sludges etc. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the concrete measurement can be changed by selecting another calibration curve. Please contact the Service Department of the manufacturer for more details. Endress+Hauser Page 21...
  • Page 22: Working With The Sono-Wz Probe

    SONO-WZ the priority is to alter the bedding conditions of sand, cement and large gravel pieces so that a representative material mix is obtained with several single measurements. This is achieved by taking several individual measurements with different bedding conditions around the probe head. Page 22 Endress+Hauser...

    2-3 times with your foot so that the concrete is compact enough to ensure that the fresh concrete surrounds the probe surface at the dark ceramic plate without any air pockets. Endress+Hauser Page 23...
  • Page 24: Measurement Procedure For Concretes With Flow Class F2, F3, F4

    For relatively stiff F2 concrete, it may be necessary to place the bucket, together with the probe, on a shaking table to compact the concrete before the measurement. Page 24 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 25: Measurement Procedure For Concretes With Flow Class F5, F6

    However, take care not to mix the concrete for too long as water can escape from the concrete. Afterwards, additional measurements can be taken as explained in Point 3. Endress+Hauser Page 25...
  • Page 26 The measured value can fluctuate in the case of concretes that do not meet the specifications of DIN EN 206-1 and DIN 1045-2 (e.g. concretes that tend to bleed). Incorrectly mixed concretes are difficult to measure with the SONO-WZ (but also with the kiln-drying test)! Page 26 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 27: Pitfalls In The Laboratory And At The Concrete Plant

    SONO-WZ. The reduction in the water content of 2-3 liters/m is then an indicator for the evaporative effect caused by mixing. Conclusion: Subsequent mixing of the concrete causes considerable deviations in the water content readings! Endress+Hauser Page 27...

    SONO-WZ reading to deviate from the (actually incorrect) kiln-dried value. The question is then whether this was a disadvantage, as the water content of the cement lime was too high in this case (and would not have produced good concrete). Page 28 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 29 It is important to bear in mind that a single piece of 16/32mm gravel weighs between 10 and 50g. Assuming an average weight of 20g per piece of gravel, it suddenly becomes clear why the sampling process is much more important than it initially appeared! Endress+Hauser Page 29...
  • Page 30: Quick Guide To Commissioning: Step 1 To Step 5

  • Page 31 2.200 to 2.300, means a difference of 8 liters in the water content! Once you have changed or entered the raw density, the CHAR parameter and a possible value for the "G-Set", you are taken automatically to the following "Meas" menu when you press the "Next" key Endress+Hauser Page 31...
  • Page 32 (<100), these values are flagged with a warning sign and are not used to calculate the average! Smileys on the display screen indicate whether the standard deviation is good (<0.2), acceptable (0.2 to - 0.49) or not acceptable (>0.5). Page 32 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 33: Core Moisture, Core Water And Water Absorption

    If SONO-WZ is to measure the kiln-dry water content, enter one third of the positive value of the core water for the G-Set! In this case, G-Set = +5 liters if the core water is typically 15 liters/m Endress+Hauser Page 33...
  • Page 34: Kiln-Drying As A Reference Value

    This would falsify the measurement result when the sample is weighed because the water in the kiln would be chemically or crystalline bound and the calculated kiln-dry water content would be too low as a result. Page 34 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 35 5.3 liters of water/m If 5kg of sample is kiln-dried, the piece of gravel still represents 1.5 liters/m . Therefore, one piece of gravel more or less can produce considerable errors, depending on the dry-kilning method and sampling. Endress+Hauser Page 35...

    SONO-DIS so that the reading in SONO-DIS matches the effective water content. 3. Additives that behave like water are also measured by the SONO-WZ. This must be taken into consideration. Page 36 Endress+Hauser...
  • Page 37: Air Voids, Glass Fibers And Steel Fibers

    In the case of concrete with steel fibers, the water content displayed by SONO-DIS is also somewhat too high due to the steel content. Here too it is recommended to use the G-Set parameter to reduce this reading by -5 to -10 liters/m in SONO-DIS. Endress+Hauser Page 37...
