POKER VIBRATOR (WITH VIBRATING TABLE) AZA1167
The AZA1167 Poker Vibrator with Vibrating Table is a dual-function concrete compaction system designed for laboratory applications where high precision, uniformity, and compliance with testing standards are essential. This integrated setup combines internal (needle) vibration with surface/table vibration, enabling superior compaction for concrete cubes, cylinders, beams, and specialty moulds.
Concrete compaction is a critical step in laboratory sample preparation. Improperly compacted concrete contains air voids that significantly reduce compressive strength and compromise test reliability. The AZA1167 system resolves these challenges by offering both internal and external vibration methods in a single platform, streamlining workflows and producing consistent, repeatable results.
The Poker Vibrator uses a high-frequency needle (25 mm) to penetrate fresh concrete and eliminate trapped air. Meanwhile, the Vibrating Table provides uniform surface vibrations ideal for cube moulds, cylinder moulds, and specimens that require gentle but effective compaction. Both units can be operated independently or simultaneously, depending on the testing requirement.
Built with a sturdy powder-coated steel frame, rubber-mounted vibration isolation, and corrosion-resistant components, the AZA1167 is engineered for long-term durability in high-throughput concrete laboratories. It conforms to ASTM C31/C31M and IS 1199 standards for concrete sampling and compaction, ensuring suitability for accredited testing facilities.

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.

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.

Built from high-strength, non-deformable engineering plastic, this mould is designed to offer superior ease of use, long service life, and consistent dimensional accuracy for concrete compressive strength testing.
Its seamless, single-piece construction eliminates the need for bolts, screws, or external frames. Users simply apply demoulding oil, cast the concrete, and after curing, eject the cube using compressed air or water pressure, achieving clean and damage-free removal every time.
Compared to heavy metal moulds, the AZA1125 weighs nearly 90% less, providing clear advantages in portability, handling, and storage—making it ideal for both laboratory and on-site testing environments. Manufactured using an eco-friendly, non-polluting process, this mould supports sustainability goals in modern construction testing.
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
