RAPID CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY TESTER AZA1144

Advanced Six-Cell System for Concrete Durability Evaluation
ASTM C1202 Compliant – Rapid Chloride Ion Penetration Testing

The AZA1144 Rapid Chloride Permeability Tester is a high-precision durability assessment system engineered to measure the resistance of concrete to chloride ion penetration. Chloride permeability is a critical parameter in determining long-term durability, especially for structures exposed to marine environments, saltwater spray, de-icing salts, and chemical-rich industrial zones.

Designed for research laboratories, material testing centers, infrastructure quality control units, and academic institutions, the AZA1144 enables users to perform Rapid Chloride Permeability Tests (RCPT) strictly in accordance with ASTM C1202. This rapid method provides concrete permeability results within six hours, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional testing methods.

J-Ring Narrow Gap AZA 1109 – SCC Flow Test Equipment

J-RING, NARROW GAP AZA1109

AZA1109 J-Ring – Narrow Gap is a precision testing apparatus designed to evaluate the passing ability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) under highly restrictive conditions. This device simulates densely congested reinforcement zones by creating artificial obstructions that the fresh SCC must flow through without blocking or segregating. It is an essential tool for determining whether SCC mixes are suitable for heavily reinforced structural elements such as beams, columns, and shear walls.

The narrow gap design offers a more stringent test compared to standard J-Rings, allowing engineers and quality control professionals to accurately observe flow diameter, T50 flow time, and blocking behavior. When used in combination with a standard slump flow cone, AZA1109 provides reliable, repeatable results that help optimize mix designs and ensure consistent on-site performance.

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant steel, the AZA1109 is built for repeated use in laboratory and field testing environments. The apparatus is fully compliant with ASTM C1621 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring internationally accepted testing procedures.
