AZA 0807 JOLTING APPARATUS

Description

The AZA 0807 Jolting Apparatus is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to compact cement mortar specimens uniformly and reproducibly. This ensures that test specimens prepared for compressive and flexural strength testing are free from air voids and maintain consistent density across batches. Conforming to IS 10080:1982, the equipment is a vital asset in any cement testing facility, enabling high-standard testing procedures as required by BIS, ASTM, and EN standards.

Whether you’re a construction company lab, an educational institute, a quality control division, or a research lab in cement product development, the AZA 0807 provides precise performance and rugged reliability.

⚙️ Why Compaction Matters in Mortar Testing

Cement mortar’s performance characteristics—like compressive strength, flexural strength, and shrinkage—depend heavily on the homogeneity and compaction of the test specimen. Improperly compacted samples can introduce air gaps and inconsistencies that compromise test reliability.

The AZA 0807 uses a mechanically driven cam system to apply 60 controlled jolts per minute to the sample mould, helping eliminate internal air pockets. A precise timer system ensures the test ends after the correct number of jolts, typically 60 jolts in 60 seconds.
