RING AND BALL APPARATUS AZA0932
The AZA0932 Ring & Ball Apparatus from Azalab is a fundamental laboratory instrument designed for the manual determination of the softening point of bitumen, road tars, and bituminous binders. The softening point test is a critical quality control parameter in civil engineering and road construction, particularly in regions with wide temperature variations.
The softening point represents the temperature at which a bituminous material changes from a semi-solid to a softened state under standardized conditions. The AZA0932 provides a robust, reliable, and cost-effective manual solution, fully compliant with Indian and international testing standards.
ROLLING THIN FILM OVEN AZA0968
The AZA0968 Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) from AZALAB is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to simulate the short-term aging of asphalt binders under controlled heat and airflow conditions. This test is a critical component of asphalt binder evaluation, as it replicates the oxidative aging that occurs during hot mixing, transportation, and laying of asphalt pavements.
Short-term aging significantly affects binder viscosity, stiffness, and overall rheological behavior. By accurately reproducing these conditions in the laboratory, the AZA0968 enables engineers to predict pavement performance, evaluate binder suitability, and ensure compliance with international specifications for durable and crack-resistant asphalt pavements.
SAY BOLT VISCOMETER AZA0950
The AZA0950 Saybolt Viscometer from AZALAB is a fundamental laboratory instrument designed to determine the empirical viscosity of petroleum products, lubricants, and bituminous materials. Viscosity—defined as a fluid’s resistance to flow—is a critical performance parameter influencing lubrication efficiency, fuel handling, and asphalt workability.
The Saybolt method measures efflux time, providing a standardized and widely accepted indication of flow behavior at controlled temperatures.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC PENETROMETER AZA0940
The AZA0940 Semi-Automatic Penetrometer from Azalab is a high-precision laboratory instrument designed for the accurate determination of the consistency of bituminous materials, including bitumen, asphalt, and other semi-solid products such as greases and waxes. Engineered to bridge the gap between manual and fully digital systems, the AZA0940 combines robust mechanical construction with digital timing and automated needle release, delivering excellent accuracy, repeatability, and ease of operation.
This instrument is widely used in civil engineering laboratories, highway authorities, asphalt plants, research institutions, and quality control laboratories, where dependable penetration testing in compliance with ASTM D5, EN 1426, and AASHTO T49 is required.
SOLVENT RECOVERY UNIT AZA0949
STANDARD PENETROMETER AZA0938
The AZA0938 Standard Penetrometer from Azalab is a robust, reliable, and manually operated laboratory instrument designed for the accurate determination of the consistency of bituminous materials, including bitumen, asphalt, waxes, and greases. It is an essential testing device widely used in civil engineering laboratories, highway authorities, asphalt plants, and quality control laboratories where consistent and repeatable penetration measurements are required.
The AZA0938 operates on the classical penetration testing principle and provides a cost-effective yet precise solution for grading and classifying bituminous binders in accordance with internationally recognized standards such as ASTM D5, EN 1426, AASHTO T49, IP 49, and IS 1203.
STANDARD TAR VISCOMETER AZA0952
The AZA0952 Standard Tar Viscometer from AZALAB is a robust and widely used laboratory instrument designed for the empirical determination of viscosity of cut-back bitumen, road oils, and other fluid bituminous materials. Viscosity is one of the most critical properties governing the handling, application, and performance of bituminous binders in road construction and maintenance works.
In pavement engineering, the viscosity of cut-back bitumen and road oils directly influences their sprayability, penetration into aggregates, coating efficiency, and workability under field conditions. The AZA0952 provides a simple, reliable, and standardized efflux-time method for assessing these flow characteristics at controlled temperatures, making it an essential instrument for civil engineering laboratories, asphalt plants, and quality control departments.
STRAIGHT EDGE (3 Meters) AZA0959
The AZA0959 Straight Edge (3 Meter) from AZALAB is a fundamental and indispensable pavement surface regularity measurement tool used extensively in road construction, supervision, and maintenance activities. This simple yet highly effective device is designed to detect and quantify surface irregularities such as undulations, depressions, and high spots in newly constructed or existing pavement layers.
Surface regularity is a critical quality parameter influencing riding comfort, vehicle safety, drainage efficiency, and long-term pavement durability. The AZA0959 Straight Edge enables quick, reliable, and repeatable assessment of both longitudinal and transverse pavement evenness, ensuring compliance with national road construction specifications, particularly those issued by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) and Indian Roads Congress (IRC).
STRIPPING VALUE APPARATUS AZA0943
The AZA0943 Stripping Value Apparatus from Azalab is a precision laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the adhesion characteristics of bitumen-coated aggregates when subjected to water immersion. This test is critical in assessing the resistance of aggregates to stripping, a major cause of premature pavement failure due to moisture ingress.
The apparatus is widely used in road construction quality control laboratories, civil engineering departments, research institutions, and third-party testing facilities. It fully complies with ASTM D1664 and IS 6241, ensuring acceptance across both international and Indian testing frameworks.
TRAVELLING BEAM DEVICE AZA0960
The AZA0960 Travelling Beam Device from AZALAB is a fundamental and widely accepted instrument for measuring longitudinal surface unevenness (roughness) of road pavements. It is extensively used by highway engineers, road contractors, consultants, and quality control laboratories across India for evaluating the riding quality and service condition of both newly constructed and existing roads.
Surface unevenness directly influences vehicle operating costs, passenger comfort, road safety, drainage performance, and pavement service life. The AZA0960 provides a reliable and cost-effective method for quantifying pavement roughness, enabling engineers to ensure compliance with specifications laid down by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) and the Indian Roads Congress (IRC).
