AMV automatic vicat needle apparatus consists of a metallic frame bearing a freely movable and with a cap at the top, one vicate mould and glass base plate, and one set of needles one each initial needle, final needle, and consistency plunger. It comes with a dashpot that facilities the gentle lowering of the needles.

AMV Scientific Co. have long tradition in manufacturing automatic setting time testers for cement and mortar.

A new generation, the third one, is now available. The new machine has been completely redesigned based on the innovative CVI-TECH philosophy. As with the older generations the test procedure is unchanged, a needle (or a probe) drops freely into a cement sample at regular intervals and in fixed positions. Penetration depth is measured by a sensor with 0,1 mm resolution. Along with hardening process development the penetration depth decreases, when it matches some thresholds pre-defined by Standards initial and final setting times are measured and recorded.
