SEMI AUTOMATIC CONE PENETROMETER AZA0852
Principle of Operation
A soil paste prepared at known moisture content is placed in the sample cup. The standardized cone, attached to a calibrated weight, is released using the semi-automatic clutch mechanism, allowing free fall penetration into the soil. After the specified time (typically 5 seconds), the penetration depth is measured using a high-precision dial gauge. The moisture content corresponding to a penetration of 20 mm is considered the liquid limit of the soil, as defined in IS and BS standards.SHRINKAGE LIMIT SET AZA0849
Standards Compliance
The AZA0849 Shrinkage Limit Set conforms to major national and international testing standards, ensuring reliable and universally accepted test results:- IS 2720 (Part VII)
- ASTM D427
- BS 1377
- AASHTO T 92
SIEVE BRUSHES AZA0928
AZA0928 Sieve Brushes are laboratory-grade cleaning tools designed specifically for the safe and effective cleaning of test sieves used in particle size and gradation analysis. Proper sieve maintenance is critical to ensuring accurate, repeatable test results and compliance with international standards such as ASTM and ISO.
Residue trapped in sieve mesh openings can lead to blocked apertures, inaccurate particle distribution, and premature sieve wear. The AZA0928 sieve brushes are engineered to remove retained particles without deforming or damaging the mesh, thereby preserving sieve calibration and extending service life
SIEVE SHAKER ‘GYRATORY’ AZA0926
The Azalab AZA0926 Gyratory Sieve Shaker is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for accurate, repeatable dry particle size analysis of granular and powdered materials. Utilizing a combined gyratory (orbital) motion with vertical tapping, the AZA0926 delivers superior separation efficiency compared to conventional vibratory-only sieve shakers.
This motion profile is particularly effective for materials that are fine, cohesive, electrostatically charged, irregular in shape, or prone to sieve blinding, making the AZA0926 an essential tool for quality control, research, and material characterization in civil engineering, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical industries.
SIEVE SHAKER AZA0925
The Azalab AZA0925 Sieve Shaker is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to deliver accurate, repeatable particle size analysis of granular and powdered materials. Engineered to replicate the effectiveness of manual sieving, the AZA0925 combines circular vibratory motion with controlled mechanical tapping, ensuring superior particle separation across a broad range of sieve sizes.
This dual-action mechanism provides significantly better separation efficiency than vibration-only shakers. Mechanical tapping reduces particle agglomeration and promotes effective stratification—critical when testing irregular particles, clay-coated aggregates, soil fines, mineral powders, cementitious materials, and industrial powders.
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
SOIL HYDROMETER AZA0858
SOIL PERMEABILITY 75 MM AZA0878
The AZA0878 Soil Permeability Apparatus from Azalab is a precision laboratory instrument designed for accurate determination of soil permeability (hydraulic conductivity) using both Constant Head and Falling Head methods. Equipped with a 75 mm diameter permeameter cell, this apparatus is ideal for comprehensive testing of coarse-grained and fine-grained soils in geotechnical laboratories.
Determination of soil permeability is essential for the design and analysis of foundations, earth dams, embankments, drainage systems, groundwater flow studies, and liquefaction assessments. The AZA0878 delivers reliable, repeatable, and standard-compliant results for professional soil testing.
SOIL TESTING KIT AZA0887
The AZA0887 Portable Soil Testing Kit from Azalab is a compact and reliable solution designed for on-site soil pH determination. It enables quick and effective soil analysis without the need for electricity, digital meters, or laboratory infrastructure, making it ideal for fieldwork, educational use, and preliminary soil assessments.
Soil pH is a critical parameter influencing nutrient availability, microbial activity, and plant growth. The AZA0887 allows users to assess soil conditions in real time, supporting informed decisions in agriculture, landscaping, and environmental studies.
SOIL TRIMMER (HAND OPERATED) AZA0893
SPEEDY MOISTURE ZI 3027 METER (D2 LARGE) AZA0873
The AZA0873 Speedy Moisture ZI 3027 Meter (D2 Large) from Azalab is a high-performance field instrument designed for rapid and accurate determination of moisture content in soils, aggregates, sand, and similar materials. Based on the proven calcium carbide gas pressure method, this instrument is widely used in earthwork compaction control, road construction, geotechnical investigations, and concrete production, where immediate moisture data is critical for quality assurance.
The D2 Large configuration distinguishes the AZA0873 by allowing a larger sample size, providing more representative and reliable results, especially for heterogeneous materials and aggregates with larger particle sizes. Its rugged ZI 3027 construction ensures dependable performance under demanding site conditions.
SPLIT SPOON SAMPLER AZA0918
The AZA0918 Split Spoon Sampler is a precision-engineered soil sampling device used for collecting relatively undisturbed subsurface soil samples during Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and other geotechnical investigations. Its split-barrel construction enables easy opening, inspection, and removal of the soil core without disturbing its natural structure, making it ideal for laboratory classification and strength evaluation.
AZA0918 is routinely deployed in boreholes as part of SPT procedures, where it is driven into the soil using a standard drop hammer. The number of hammer blows required to advance the sampler provides critical data on soil density, consistency, and bearing capacity in accordance with ASTM D1586.
