SolidCheck. More Accurate than Any Thumb.

The Knead-Bag Test is Obsolete.

Guesswork by rule of thumb is obso-

lete at last: SolidCheck brings time

saving and safety

Today‘s concrete standards demand that fresh

concrete pressure is determined to specify the

maximum concrete pouring speed. To do so, the

site needs to know what time the concrete needs

to set (solidify). Up to now, concrete setting time

was determined by pressing your thumb into

a sample of concrete in a knead-bag every half

hour, hence the name knead-bag test. The results

are inaccurate and subjective with the result that

a 25 % safety span was added on top.

The portable mobile measuring device

that determines the exact setting time

for fresh concrete

SolidCheck‘s innovative, computer controlled

ultrasonic technology delivers reliable, precise

data on concrete setting time. Thus, the actual

fresh concrete pressure can be established and

the supervisor is able to utilize the formwork‘s

load capacity safely and to a full extent. This

saves time and money. Safety spans and work-

flow delays are a thing of the past; the building

process is easier to plan and monitor.

SolidCheck. Portable Real-Time Measurement.

Safe Function. Easy Operation.

SolidCheck is battery-operated, comes in a sturdy carry case for on-site operation

and is designed to measure concrete setting time under real on-site conditions.

Operating SolidCheck is simple: A concrete

sample from the batch destined for the pour

is filled into the test cube. By pressing the GO

button, the ultrasonic measuring cycle is star-

ted. This happens under real site and tempera-

ture conditions. At the end of the cycle, the ex-

act time that the concrete needs to set appears

in the display.

SolidCheck measures the concrete setting time

in real time: If the concrete needs 8.5 hours

to set, SolidCheck will monitor the concrete

for exactly that length of time. At the moment

the concrete has actually finished setting, the

SolidCheck display will show the exact set-

ting time of 8.5 hours. There is no simulation,

vague extrapolation or calculation. And time-

consuming safety spans are a thing of the past.

Safety for every concrete pour thanks to accu-

rate measuring data.

SolidCheck works for all concrete types in use on

site today, including self-compacting and flowable

types. The measurement complies with today‘s con-

crete standards, including the DIN 18218 standard.

Safety spans and risk margins are no longer needed.

The site can proceed with fast, safe pours.

Full and safe utilization of the formwork‘s

concrete load capacity

No risk of overload: the formwork‘s concrete load

capacity can be fully and safely utilized at all

times. The site can choose the formwork with the

optimum load capacity. This saves labour, time and

money while improving safety.

Sturdy, compact carry case enables measure-

ment in real time and on site

SolidCheck delivers concrete setting time in hours

and minutes, under real temperature conditions.

Measurement is conducted on the concrete type and

batch actually destined for the pour. The benefit is:

reliable and real data. The sensitive measurement

technology is encased in a sturdy carry case for por-

table use on any site.

Improving safety and saving time while enab-

ling the fastest possible pouring rate

By measuring the exact concrete setting time, Solid-

Check enables the site to utilize the fastest possible

concrete pouring rate safely and precisely. This gain

in time is particularly noticeable with high pours.

SolidCheck. Your Benefits and Advantages.

Before: WITHOUT SolidCheck

Guessing concrete setting time using the

knead-bag test: inaccurate results that vary

from thumb to thumb.

25 % safety span added to assumed concrete

setting time. 25 % more time and delays in

work flow on site.

Uncertainty about when the concrete has

actually set leads to overdimensioning the

formwork – the 2. unnecessary safety span.

The site will tend to pour the concrete more

slowly than the formwork would actually

permit. The 3. unnecessary time loss.

From now on: WITH SolidCheck

Concrete setting time measured on the batch

delivered – precisely in hours and minutes.

The 25 % safety surcharge on concrete setting

time calculated as demanded by the standard

DIN 18218 is no longer needed.

SolidCheck enables the site to choose e.g. a

formwork system with 70 kN/m2 concrete

load capacity instead of one with 100 kN/m2

and to utilize this capacity safely and fully.

SolidCheck enables the site to exploit the

maximum pouring rate safely and fully.

SolidCheck puts an end to safety surcharges.

The site can proceed with fast, safe pours.

Calculation without SolidCheck

Concrete setting time assumed at 7.5h

(including 25% safety surcharge), enabling

concrete pouring rate of 1m/hour

6 hours per pour cycle.

Calculation with SolidCheck

Concrete setting time measured at 6h,

enabling concrete pour rate of 1.33m/hour.

4.5 hours per cycle, 8 pour cycles

Time saving: 1.5h

Time and cost saving:

Time saved with SolidCheck: 1.5h/pour

Site team 4 x 1 workers

Labour costs: € 35/h

Time saving in 8 pour cycles: € 1.680,–

SolidCheck facilitates safe, fast pours, smooth

workflow and saves time and money:
