SAMPLE SPLITTER AZA0981
The AZA0981 Sample Splitter (Riffle Type) is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to accurately divide bulk fine and coarse aggregate samples into smaller, representative portions for testing. It is an essential tool for civil engineering, construction material testing, and geotechnical laboratories, ensuring unbiased and repeatable sampling.
This model is ideal for field and laboratory use where consistency, durability, and compliance with international standards are critical.
Key Features
- Accurately splits bulk aggregates into representative samples
- Multiple slot options for different particle sizes
- Heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame
- Uniform chute spacing for even material distribution
- Supplied with two sturdy collection pans
- Portable and easy to operate
Description
Purpose & Importance
Reliable test results depend on representative samples. The AZA0981 ensures that every split portion maintains the same particle size distribution as the bulk material, eliminating human sampling errors. It is widely used before conducting:
-
Sieve analysis
-
Aggregate crushing and impact value tests
-
Specific gravity and water absorption tests
-
Soil and rock material studies
Working Principle
The splitter contains precision-machined riffle chutes arranged alternately. When material is poured into the hopper, it passes through these evenly spaced chutes and is divided into two equal, statistically identical samples, collected in pans placed below.
The splitting process may be repeated to achieve the required sample quantity.
Applications
-
Construction material testing laboratories
-
Soil and geotechnical laboratories
-
Highway and road project sites
-
Concrete batching plant quality control
-
Educational and research institutions
