WET SIEVE SHAKER AZA0927

The Azalab AZA0927 Wet Sieve Shaker is a robust laboratory instrument engineered for the accurate determination of particle size distribution in fine-grained soils, aggregates, and other materials where dry sieving is ineffective. By combining controlled mechanical agitation with a continuous water spray, the AZA0927 ensures complete disintegration of agglomerates and reliable separation of fine particles.

Wet sieving using the AZA0927 is essential for materials containing silt, clay, dust, or cohesive fines, where dry methods tend to underestimate the fine fraction due to particle adhesion or electrostatic effects. The instrument is widely used in geotechnical, civil, environmental, mining, ceramics, and material testing laboratories

Description

Description

Principle of Operation

The AZA0927 integrates mechanical shaking with hydraulic washing to achieve accurate particle separation:

  1. A prepared sample is placed on a stack of standard test sieves arranged in descending mesh size.

  2. The sieve stack is secured inside the wet sieve shaker.

  3. Water is uniformly sprayed over the top sieve while the machine imparts a controlled shaking motion.

  4. Fine particles are washed through the sieve apertures, preventing clogging and agglomeration.

  5. Material retained on each sieve is collected, dried, and weighed for particle size analysis.

This method ensures that each particle is fully exposed to the sieve openings, resulting in accurate, repeatable, and representative gradation results.

SHRINKAGE LIMIT SET AZA0849

The AZA0849 Shrinkage Limit Set from AZALAB is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument used for determining the shrinkage limit of cohesive soils, a critical parameter within the Atterberg limits framework. This test plays a vital role in understanding the volume change characteristics of fine-grained soils when subjected to drying. The shrinkage limit represents the maximum moisture content at which further reduction in water content does not cause any appreciable decrease in soil volume. Beyond this point, air begins to enter the soil voids, and the soil mass maintains a constant volume. Accurate determination of this parameter is essential for predicting soil behavior in foundations, embankments, earth dams, and pavement structures.

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
