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

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.

MOTORISED SAND EQUIVALENT SHAKER AZA0861

The AZA0861 Motorised Sand Equivalent Shaker is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to automate the agitation phase of the Sand Equivalent Test. It ensures uniform, repeatable shaking in full compliance with ASTM D2419, AASHTO T176, and IS 2720 (Part 37), eliminating operator variability associated with manual shaking. This shaker is an essential accessory for soil, aggregate, and construction material testing laboratories where accurate assessment of sand cleanliness and clay-like fines is critical.
Purpose & Function The Sand Equivalent Test evaluates the relative proportion of sand versus clay-sized or plastic fines in fine aggregates. During testing, the sample and calcium chloride solution must be agitated for a defined stroke length and rate. The AZA0861 automates this process using a controlled reciprocating motion, delivering consistent agitation that improves repeatability, reduces operator fatigue, and enhances overall test reliability.

PARTICLE SIZE SEDIMENTATION (HYDROMETER METHOD) AZA0857

AZA0857 – Particle Size Sedimentation Apparatus (Hydrometer Method) The AZA0857 Particle Size Sedimentation Apparatus (Hydrometer Method) from AZA Lab is designed for determining the particle size distribution of fine-grained soils, particularly silts and clays smaller than 75 microns. This method is widely adopted in soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, civil construction quality control, and academic laboratories where accurate characterization of cohesive soils is essential. The hydrometer method is based on the sedimentation principle governed by Stokes’ Law, measuring changes in the density of a soil–water suspension over time. By recording hydrometer readings at defined intervals, the percentage of soil particles remaining in suspension is calculated, enabling precise determination of grain size distribution for fine soils beyond the practical limits of sieve analysis.

SAND EQUIVALENT TEST SET AZA0859

The AZA0859 Sand Equivalent Test Set from AZA Lab is a standardized laboratory and field testing apparatus used to determine the relative proportion of sand versus clay-like or plastic fines in fine aggregates and granular soils. This test is critical in construction quality control where aggregate cleanliness directly affects the performance of asphalt pavements, concrete mixes, and base course layers. The test set conforms to ASTM D2419, IS 2720 (Part 37), and AASHTO T176, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and specification-compliant results. The Sand Equivalent Value (SEV) provides a simple numerical indication of aggregate quality by comparing the height of settled sand to the height of clay suspension after sedimentation.
Working Principle A prepared fine aggregate sample is placed in a graduated cylinder and mixed with a standard calcium chloride-based solution. After agitation and a controlled settling period, heavier sand particles settle at the bottom while lighter clay and silt particles remain in suspension. The Sand Equivalent Value (SEV) is calculated as: SEV = (Height of Sand / Height of Clay Suspension) × 100 Higher SEV values indicate cleaner aggregates with lower clay contamination, which are preferred for structural and pavement applications.

SEMI AUTOMATIC CONE PENETROMETER AZA0852

The AZA0852 Semi Automatic Cone Penetrometer from AZALAB is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument used for determining the liquid limit and consistency characteristics of fine-grained soils. Designed to eliminate operator-dependent errors, this semi-automatic model ensures uniform cone release and repeatable penetration results, making it an ideal choice for geotechnical, civil engineering, and construction material testing laboratories. The apparatus conforms to IS 2720 (Part 5) and BS 1377 standards and is widely used for soil classification, foundation assessment, and settlement analysis. Its semi-automatic clutch-based drop mechanism allows the cone to penetrate the soil sample under controlled conditions for a fixed duration of 5 seconds, ensuring consistent and reliable test outcomes.

Principle of Operation

A soil paste prepared at known moisture content is placed in the sample cup. The standardized cone, attached to a calibrated weight, is released using the semi-automatic clutch mechanism, allowing free fall penetration into the soil. After the specified time (typically 5 seconds), the penetration depth is measured using a high-precision dial gauge. The moisture content corresponding to a penetration of 20 mm is considered the liquid limit of the soil, as defined in IS and BS standards.

STANDARD COMPACTION TEST AZA0863

The AZA0863 Standard Compaction Test Apparatus from Azalab is designed to perform the Standard Proctor Compaction Test, a fundamental geotechnical laboratory procedure used to determine the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of soils. These parameters are essential for ensuring proper soil compaction in the construction of roads, embankments, foundations, and other earth structures. This apparatus simulates light compaction effort typically applied in the field and provides reliable, repeatable results for laboratory quality control and design verification.
Purpose & Principle The Standard Compaction Test establishes the relationship between soil moisture content and dry density under a standard compactive effort. Soil samples are compacted in layers within a cylindrical mould using a specified hammer weight and drop height. By testing at varying moisture contents and plotting a compaction curve, the MDD and OMC are obtained.
