SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND WATER ABSORPTION OF AGGREGATES AZA0979
The AZA0979 Specific Gravity & Water Absorption Apparatus is a complete, precision-engineered testing system designed to determine the specific gravity and water absorption of fine and coarse aggregates. This apparatus is essential for quality control in concrete and asphalt mix design and is widely used in civil engineering laboratories.
It conforms to IS 2386 (Part III) and BS 812 standards, ensuring reliable and internationally accepted test results.
Key Features
- Comprehensive apparatus for specific gravity and water absorption testing
- Suitable for both fine and coarse aggregates
- Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant construction
- High accuracy and repeatable results
- User-friendly configuration for lab and field use
Description
Complete Set Includes
-
High-precision Electronic Balance (5 kg capacity)
-
Stainless Steel Density Basket
-
Water Tank with stable base platform
-
Support Frame with suspension arrangement
-
Hook and lifting mechanism for easy basket handling
Working Principle
The AZA0979 works by measuring:
-
Dry weight of aggregates
-
Saturated Surface-Dry (SSD) weight
-
Submerged weight in water
Using these values, the apparatus helps calculate:
-
Bulk specific gravity (dry & SSD)
-
Apparent specific gravity
-
Water absorption percentage
Applications
-
Construction material testing laboratories
-
Concrete and asphalt mix design
-
Civil and geotechnical engineering departments
-
Research institutions and quality control labs
