Volumetair™ Concrete Air Meter Kit

Volumetric Air Meter

Get precise, repeatable air content measurements across all types of concrete — including lightweight aggregate mixes — with Forney’s Volumetric Air Meter. Designed for reliability and portability, this unit offers professional-grade performance in a compact, easy-to-clean form factor ideal for labs or field technicians performing occasional testing.

Constructed from durable PVC and fiberglass-reinforced polymer, the meter resists deformation and corrosion, ensuring long-term dimensional stability. At just 5.5 lb (2.5 kg), it’s among the lightest volumetric air meters on the market — significantly easier to handle than traditional brass or aluminum models. A stainless steel over-center clamp and leak-tight O-ring seal connect the base and cover assembly securely, maintaining accuracy test after test.

The 134 in³ (2,200 mL) base volume and sight tube graduated in 0.25% increments (0–9%) provide precise readings across a wide range of mix designs. When testing wraps up, simply rinse with water — every component is built for straightforward cleanup and maintenance.

The kit includes all required accessories to run a complete air content test, neatly packed in a protective carry case.
