DENSITY BASKET AZA0978
The AZA0978 Density Basket is a precision testing accessory designed for determining specific gravity and water absorption of fine and coarse aggregates. Manufactured by Azalab, this stainless steel mesh basket is engineered for repeated water immersion and accurate weighing, ensuring reliable results in material testing laboratories. It fully conforms to IS 2386 (Part III), ASTM C127, and BS 812 standards.
Key Features
- Used for specific gravity and water absorption tests
- Made from high-quality stainless steel mesh
- Equipped with a strong welded suspension hook
- Corrosion-resistant, rust-free and long-lasting
- Smooth welded edges to prevent sample damage
- Standardized mesh aperture for proper water flow
Description
Purpose & Function
The AZA0978 Density Basket is designed to suspend aggregate samples in water while being weighed using a digital or mechanical balance. This allows accurate calculation of:
-
Specific gravity (relative density)
-
Water absorption percentage
These parameters are essential for ensuring aggregate quality and optimizing concrete mix designs.
Applications
-
Civil engineering and construction material laboratories
-
Concrete quality control and mix design
-
Highway and infrastructure material testing
-
Educational and research institutions
