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.
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.
K-SLUMP TESTER AZA1104
AZA1104 K-Slump Tester is a fast, reliable, and non-destructive testing device designed to measure the workability and consistency of fresh concrete directly at construction sites or in laboratory environments. It provides instant slump approximation without the need for traditional slump cones, base plates, or tamping rods, making it an essential tool for modern concrete quality control.
This handheld instrument is widely used by civil engineers, site technicians, and quality inspectors who require quick, repeatable, and real-time results during concrete batching, transportation, and placement. Its simple design eliminates complicated setup, reducing testing time and operator fatigue.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, the probe is corrosion-resistant and suitable for harsh site conditions. The etched scale markings provide direct readings in millimeters or inches, allowing accurate penetration depth measurement without additional instruments.
Unlike traditional slump testing methods, the AZA1104 enables non-destructive testing, meaning the concrete surface remains intact and usable after testing. This feature is especially useful when multiple checks are needed during large pours or continuous batching operation
