This tester evaluates cement paste specimens. In practice, it is used on prepared paste samples to check standard water consistency and setting time through rod penetration.

The sample form is the cement paste itself, not a hardened concrete specimen. That makes it a good fit for laboratory method work on Portland cement and other designated cement types where consistency and setting behavior need to be measured on a fresh paste sample.
