PLASTIC CUBE MOULD (THREE GANG) AZA1156
The AZA-LAB Three-Gang Plastic Cube Mould AZA1156 is engineered for casting three standard 150 mm concrete cubes in a single operation. This design significantly improves productivity in concrete testing environments by reducing preparation time and ensuring uniformity across multiple specimens from the same concrete batch.
Manufactured from high-density, industrial-grade plastic, the mould offers a lightweight, corrosion-free alternative to traditional metal moulds while maintaining exceptional dimensional accuracy and durability. The rigid structure prevents deformation during concrete pouring and compaction, ensuring precise cube formation suitable for compressive strength testing.
Each of the three chambers forms an independent 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm cube. Casting all three cubes simultaneously ensures identical curing conditions, which is essential for reliable statistical evaluation in concrete quality control.
The mould features detachable, easy-to-align panels that create a leakproof assembly. Its smooth, non-stick interior surface enables effortless demoulding without the need for lubrication, although a light release agent may be used to achieve an enhanced finish. Cleaning is simple—requiring only water or mild detergent—and the mould dries quickly without rust or deformation.
The AZA1156 complies with IS 516 and relevant ASTM principles (ASTM C39) for compressive strength specimen preparation, making it suitable for material testing laboratories, construction QC stations, ready-mix plants, and academic institutions.

CHASE AIR INDICATOR AZA1105
AZA1105 Chase Air Indicator is a compact, lightweight, and highly practical field instrument designed to measure the air content in freshly mixed concrete. It is widely used in construction sites where rapid quality decisions are required and laboratory testing equipment is not readily available.
This device serves as a reliable field alternative to standard air content methods such as ASTM C231 (Pressure Method) and ASTM C173 (Volumetric Method). While it is not intended to replace laboratory-grade instruments, it provides fast, useful guidance that helps engineers and site supervisors maintain proper concrete mix quality.
Air entrainment plays a critical role in concrete durability, especially in regions exposed to freeze–thaw cycles, and contributes significantly to workability and pumpability of concrete. AZA1105 helps ensure that air content remains within the recommended range (typically 4%–7%), reducing the risk of weak or brittle concrete.
The working principle is based on fluid displacement and vacuum pressure balance. A representative mortar sample is collected and placed inside the testing chamber, where a controlled vacuum is applied. The internal pressure difference is translated directly to a calibrated dial gauge showing the approximate air content percentage.
With no electrical components, moving mechanical assemblies, or complex maintenance requirements, the AZA1105 is extremely reliable and built for tough field conditions. Its rugged body and easy-to-read dial make it suitable for continuous daily use in real-world jobsite environments.

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.
