CONCRETE FLOW TABLE TEST SET AZA1110
AZA1110 Concrete Flow Table Test Set is a precision-engineered laboratory apparatus designed to determine the workability, consistency, and flow characteristics of fresh concrete. It is especially suitable for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), precast concrete, and high-consistency mixes where the traditional slump test is not effective.
This test set works by allowing a freshly mixed concrete sample to spread under controlled, repeated vertical jolts of a mechanically calibrated table. The final spread diameter of the concrete is measured to assess its flowability and uniformity.
Built with a rigid, precisely machined table surface, the AZA1110 ensures repeatable and reliable results. Its heavy-duty construction allows long-term use in demanding laboratory environments while remaining easy to clean, store, and maintain.
The apparatus complies with major international standards including IS 1199, ASTM C1437, and BS EN 12350-5, making it suitable for both domestic and international testing requirements.
INITIAL SURFACE ABSORPTION TEST (ISAT) APPARATUS AZA1108
AZA1108 ISAT Apparatus is a precision-engineered testing instrument designed to measure the Initial Surface Absorption of hardened concrete. This test is essential for evaluating the durability of concrete by determining how quickly water penetrates the surface under controlled conditions. The apparatus is widely used in civil engineering laboratories and quality control departments to assess permeability and long-term performance of concrete structures exposed to moisture.
Built with a high-accuracy capillary tube system, the AZA1108 maintains a constant water head over a defined test area and records the volume of water absorbed over specific time intervals — typically at 10, 30, and 60 minutes. The readings obtained help engineers understand the surface porosity of concrete, which is a critical indicator of resistance against weathering, chloride ingress, corrosion of reinforcement, and environmental deterioration.
Designed in compliance with BS 1881-208, this apparatus ensures reliable, repeatable, and standard-compliant results. Its sturdy, rust-proof construction and easy-to-use configuration make it ideal for both routine testing and advanced durability studies in construction material laboratories.

V FUNNEL AZA1111
AZA1111 V Funnel is a precision laboratory apparatus designed to measure the flow time and viscosity of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). It evaluates how quickly fresh SCC passes through a narrow, V-shaped section under the action of gravity, providing critical insight into the concrete’s workability, stability, and resistance to segregation.
The V Funnel test is essential when designing SCC mixes that must flow through heavily reinforced or congested formwork. By recording the time taken for concrete to completely discharge from the funnel, the apparatus allows engineers and technicians to quickly judge whether a mix is too stiff, too viscous, or optimally balanced.
Manufactured with a durable, corrosion-resistant metal body and a precise quick-release gate mechanism, AZA1111 ensures smooth, repeatable testing. Its rigid structure and stable stand make it suitable for both laboratory and site-based quality control environments.
The equipment is designed in compliance with EN 12350-9 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring globally accepted and repeatable test results
