Description
The Motorised Liquid Limit Device – AZA 0853M from azalab is a precision instrument designed for accurate and repeatable determination of the liquid limit of soils. With a geared-down motor delivering 120 RPM, it automates the drop mechanism, eliminating manual effort and ensuring consistent compaction blows.
This model is fully compliant with IS 2720 (Part 5) and ASTM D4318, making it ideal for soil classification, roadwork design, foundation studies, and geotechnical labs. The apparatus operates on 230V A.C., single-phase, 50 cycles, making it universally compatible for lab power setups.aza
The AZA 0853M comes with essential testing tools including Casagrande and ASTM grooving tools and a 1 cm height block for easy calibration.
Applications
- Liquid Limit determination (Atterberg limit test)
- Soil classification by plasticity
- Foundation and subgrade design
- Compaction control and geotechnical surveys
- QA/QC labs and educational institutes
