SLAKING VESSEL AZA0810
The AZA0810 Slaking Vessel is a specialized laboratory apparatus designed for conducting quicklime reactivity tests by monitoring the temperature rise during the slaking process. This evaluation is essential in cement, lime manufacturing, soil stabilization, and materials laboratories to determine the quality and performance of calcium oxide (CaO) when hydrated.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel or anodized aluminum, the vessel features a single or double-walled insulated chamber, ensuring precise temperature measurement without external heat interference. It is engineered in accordance with ASTM C110 – Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone.
SLUMP CONE, PLASTIC AZA1103
AZA1103 Slump Cone (Plastic) is a durable and lightweight testing tool designed for accurate measurement of concrete workability and consistency. It is widely used in construction sites, civil engineering laboratories, and quality control departments for fast and reliable slump testing of fresh concrete mixes.
Unlike traditional metal cones, this model is manufactured from high-quality rigid plastic, making it corrosion-resistant, dent-proof, and highly suitable for repeated field and laboratory use. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to transport and ideal for site engineers and mobile testing teams.
The apparatus is manufactured to standard dimensions and fully complies with IS 1199 and ASTM C143, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results. The smooth internal surface minimizes friction, allowing easy release of concrete and improving measurement accuracy.
This slump cone helps engineers quickly determine if a concrete mix has the correct consistency for placement, compaction, and finishing. It is especially useful for quality checks before concrete pouring to avoid honeycombing, segregation, or improper flow.
AZA1103 is reusable, easy to clean, and requires minimal maintenance, making it a long-lasting and cost-effective solution for routine concrete testing.
SLUMP TEST APPARATUS AZA1102
AZA1102 Slump Test Apparatus is designed for the accurate evaluation of concrete workability and consistency in both laboratory and field conditions. It is an essential quality control tool used in construction projects, civil engineering laboratories, and educational institutions.
This apparatus complies with IS 7320 and BS 1881-102 standards, ensuring reliable and standardized test results. It is primarily used to determine the slump value of fresh concrete, indicating its ease of placement, compaction, and finishing.
The set includes a durable metal slump cone manufactured to standard dimensions — 200 mm bottom diameter, 100 mm top diameter, and 300 mm height — providing dimensional accuracy and long service life. A 16 mm diameter tamping rod, 600 mm long with rounded ends, is provided to properly compact the concrete sample in layers.
The apparatus is suitable for testing concrete with aggregate sizes up to 38 mm, making it ideal for common residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications.
To improve handling and stability, the unit includes a rigid base plate with clamping arrangements and lifting handles, making it easy to use both on construction sites and in laboratories.
The AZA1102 Slump Test Apparatus is known for its simple operation, rugged construction, high accuracy, and low maintenance, making it a dependable choice for routine concrete testing.
SOIL CONE PENETROMETER AZA0851
Principle of Operation
A soil paste prepared at a known moisture content is placed in the sample cup. The stainless steel cone, of specified mass and angle, is allowed to penetrate the soil freely for 5 seconds. The depth of penetration (up to 20 mm) is measured using a precision depth gauge. The moisture content corresponding to 20 mm penetration is defined as the liquid limit of the soil.Standards Compliance
- IS 2720 (Part 5) – Determination of liquid and plastic limits
- ASTM D4318 – Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils
