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
