CRACK MICROSCOPE AZA1153
The AZA-LAB Crack Microscope (Model: AZA1153) is a high-accuracy inspection instrument engineered for measuring surface crack widths in concrete, masonry, metal, and other structural substrates. Compact, field-ready, and equipped with an internal measurement scale, it is widely used in civil engineering, construction QC, NDT inspections, forensic analysis, and structural health monitoring.Cracks serve as early warning indicators of structural distress—whether due to shrinkage, fatigue, environmental loading, or material degradation. The AZA1153 provides up to 40x magnification combined with a calibrated reticle, enabling direct measurement of cracks as fine as 0.02 mm, making it ideal for routine and advanced diagnostic work.The microscope is built with a rugged ABS housing, ensuring impact resistance during field use. Its ergonomic, handheld design allows stable placement and consistent focusing on rough surfaces. A built-in LED illumination system enhances visibility in low-light environments, ensuring reliable readings in tunnels, basements, and outdoor nighttime inspections.

J-RING, NARROW GAP AZA1109
AZA1109 J-Ring – Narrow Gap is a precision testing apparatus designed to evaluate the passing ability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) under highly restrictive conditions. This device simulates densely congested reinforcement zones by creating artificial obstructions that the fresh SCC must flow through without blocking or segregating. It is an essential tool for determining whether SCC mixes are suitable for heavily reinforced structural elements such as beams, columns, and shear walls.
The narrow gap design offers a more stringent test compared to standard J-Rings, allowing engineers and quality control professionals to accurately observe flow diameter, T50 flow time, and blocking behavior. When used in combination with a standard slump flow cone, AZA1109 provides reliable, repeatable results that help optimize mix designs and ensure consistent on-site performance.
Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant steel, the AZA1109 is built for repeated use in laboratory and field testing environments. The apparatus is fully compliant with ASTM C1621 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring internationally accepted testing procedures.
