PLUNGER PENETRATION APPARATUS AZA0808
The AZA0808 Plunger Penetration Apparatus is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to determine the consistency and workability of cement mortar. It is widely used in cement plants, construction material testing laboratories, research institutes, and educational facilities for evaluating the behavior of freshly mixed mortar under standardized conditions.
Description
Design & Functionality
The AZA0808 features a rigid, powder-coated steel frame that supports a hardened steel plunger mounted for vertical movement. The plunger can be precisely positioned and locked, ensuring standard penetration during each test.
A graduated scale with clear markings (least count 1 mm) or an optional dial gauge provides accurate readings of penetration depth—even for first-time operators.
This design ensures:
- Smooth plunger movement
- Accurate penetration readings
- Long-term structural stability
- Minimal maintenance
Features & Benefits
- High Accuracy: Hardened steel plunger provides consistent penetration across repeated tests.
- Standard-Compliant: Meets IS 4031 (Part 6) and related ASTM requirements.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Powder-coated steel frame for long service life.
- Easy Reading: Graduated scale with 1 mm least count ensures precise measurements.
- User-Friendly Operation: Simple locking system and smooth plunger action.
- Compact Design: Bench-top footprint ideal for space-limited laboratories.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures consistency in mortar mix evaluation and QC.
Applications
- Determining mortar consistency in cement testing labs
- Quality control in cement manufacturing plants
- Research and development laboratories
- Construction material testing facilities
- Teaching and demonstration in engineering colleges
- Mortar behavior analysis for mix design optimization
