CYLINDER CARRIER AZA1160
The AZA1160 Concrete Cylinder Carrier from AZA-LAB is a precision-engineered handling tool designed for laboratories, construction sites, and field testing environments that routinely work with concrete cylinder specimens. Built for the safe and ergonomic transport of 150 mm × 300 mm concrete cylinders, this carrier ensures sample integrity throughout the curing and testing process.
Concrete cylinder specimens are fundamental in assessing compressive strength as per civil and structural engineering standards. Weighing over 15 kg when cured, these specimens are prone to chipping, cracking, or impact damage when manually handled. The AZA1160 provides a secure, stable, and balanced solution that safeguards the sample while offering ease of movement for technicians.
Manufactured using industrial-grade, powder-coated steel, the carrier delivers long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance in wet, dusty, or chemically exposed environments. Despite its rugged construction, the frame remains lightweight, allowing repeated lifting without user fatigue.
The carrier’s custom-curved gripping arms conform to the geometry of standard cylinders, preventing rolling or lateral movement during transport. Its ergonomically placed handles ensure balanced weight distribution, enabling a single operator to carry heavy cylinders safely and comfortably. The open-frame design holds the specimen firmly while keeping both ends accessible for inspection or curing.
Engineered to support testing protocols aligned with ASTM C39 and IS 516, the AZA1160 ensures safe handling practices that contribute to accurate compressive strength testing.

PARTICLE DENSITY BY GAS JAR METHOD (END-OVER-END SHAKER) AZA0885
The AZA0885 Particle Density Test Set from Azalab is a precision laboratory apparatus designed for determining the specific gravity (particle density) of fine-grained soils, particularly silts and clays. This method is especially effective where conventional pycnometer techniques may suffer from air entrapment or handling difficulties with cohesive soils.
The apparatus operates on the Gas Jar Method with an End-Over-End Shaker, a standardized and highly reliable procedure specified in IS 2720 (Part 3 / Section 1) and BS 1377. The controlled mechanical rotation ensures uniform suspension of soil particles, leading to accurate, repeatable, and operator-independent results.

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.
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.

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
