Avantech Engineering Consortium PVT LTD: About Us
About us:
Avantech, an ISO 9001: 2008 certified enterprise, was established in 2001
as AE&C by engineering professionals having a combined experience of
over 30 years in the industry. Today, we represent worlds most reputed
manufacturers and developers of innovative test equipment & software
and have over 1000 satisfied users all over India.
We believe that previous technologies will not remain relevant for today's
requirement and today's solution will not be adequate for tomorrow. In
this quest, we are always on the lookout for new innovations and
technologies that we can offer for the benefit of our customers.

Robust Correlation
Not affected by:
• Type of cementitious materials
• Water-cement ratio
• Age
• Air entrainment
• Types of admixtures
• Shape or size of normal density aggregate
up to 40 mm
Lightweight aggregate, however, produces
significantly different correlation

Pullout Tests- Accuracy
Investigations, show that
strengths estimated by the
pullout tests are within 6-8% of
the core strength.
Various studies have confirmed
the inherent reliability of pullout
testing for estimating in-place
compressive strength.
