WET SIEVE SHAKER AZA0927

The Azalab AZA0927 Wet Sieve Shaker is a robust laboratory instrument engineered for the accurate determination of particle size distribution in fine-grained soils, aggregates, and other materials where dry sieving is ineffective. By combining controlled mechanical agitation with a continuous water spray, the AZA0927 ensures complete disintegration of agglomerates and reliable separation of fine particles.

Wet sieving using the AZA0927 is essential for materials containing silt, clay, dust, or cohesive fines, where dry methods tend to underestimate the fine fraction due to particle adhesion or electrostatic effects. The instrument is widely used in geotechnical, civil, environmental, mining, ceramics, and material testing laboratories

Description

Principle of Operation

The AZA0927 integrates mechanical shaking with hydraulic washing to achieve accurate particle separation:

  1. A prepared sample is placed on a stack of standard test sieves arranged in descending mesh size.

  2. The sieve stack is secured inside the wet sieve shaker.

  3. Water is uniformly sprayed over the top sieve while the machine imparts a controlled shaking motion.

  4. Fine particles are washed through the sieve apertures, preventing clogging and agglomeration.

  5. Material retained on each sieve is collected, dried, and weighed for particle size analysis.

This method ensures that each particle is fully exposed to the sieve openings, resulting in accurate, repeatable, and representative gradation results.

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer AZA 0872 - In-Situ Soil Strength Test

DYNAMIC CONE PENETROMETER AZA0872

The AZA0872 Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) from Azalab is a robust, field-proven instrument designed for rapid in-situ evaluation of soil strength, stiffness, and compaction. It is extensively used by civil engineers, geotechnical consultants, and construction teams for pavement design, quality control, and site investigation works.

The DCP test provides a fast and economical method to assess the strength of subgrades, sub-bases, and granular base course layers, with results that can be directly correlated to California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values. This eliminates the need for time-consuming laboratory testing or undisturbed soil sampling, enabling immediate decision-making at site.

GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS (PIPETTE METHOD) AZA0856

The AZA0856 Grain Size Analysis (Pipette Method) Apparatus from AZA Lab is a precision testing setup used for determining the distribution of fine soil particles such as silt and clay. It is widely used in geotechnical engineering, civil construction quality control, soil mechanics research, and academic laboratories, particularly where conventional sieve analysis is ineffective for particles finer than 75 microns. This apparatus is designed for the mechanical analysis of sub-sieve soil particles, expressing quantitatively the proportion by weight of various particle sizes present in a soil sample. The pipette method, based on sedimentation principles and Stokes’ Law, provides accurate and repeatable results for fine-grained soils. The system consists of a sliding vertical panel operated by a precision screw mechanism, allowing an Anderson pipette to be raised or lowered accurately. A sedimentation tube is held securely below the pipette using a laboratory clamp. The depth of immersion is measured using a millimeter-graduated scale mounted alongside the sliding panel. The apparatus is supplied complete with a 10 ml Anderson pipette, a 500 ml glass sedimentation tube, and test form pads, conforming to standard laboratory practices.

SOIL CONE PENETROMETER AZA0851

The AZA0851 Precision Cone Penetrometer from AZALAB is a high-accuracy laboratory instrument designed for determining the liquid limit of fine-grained soils using the cone penetration method. The apparatus fully complies with IS 2720 (Part 5) and ASTM D4318, making it suitable for standardized soil classification and geotechnical investigations. Unlike the Casagrande method, the cone penetrometer provides a more objective and repeatable measurement of liquid limit by correlating soil consistency to the depth of penetration of a standardized cone under its own weight. This method is widely preferred in modern soil mechanics laboratories due to reduced operator dependency and higher precision.

Principle of Operation

A soil paste prepared at a known moisture content is placed in the sample cup. The stainless steel cone, of specified mass and angle, is allowed to penetrate the soil freely for 5 seconds. The depth of penetration (up to 20 mm) is measured using a precision depth gauge. The moisture content corresponding to 20 mm penetration is defined as the liquid limit of the soil.

Standards Compliance

  • IS 2720 (Part 5) – Determination of liquid and plastic limits
  • ASTM D4318 – Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
