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.

INITIAL SURFACE ABSORPTION TEST (ISAT) APPARATUS AZA1108
AZA1108 ISAT Apparatus is a precision-engineered testing instrument designed to measure the Initial Surface Absorption of hardened concrete. This test is essential for evaluating the durability of concrete by determining how quickly water penetrates the surface under controlled conditions. The apparatus is widely used in civil engineering laboratories and quality control departments to assess permeability and long-term performance of concrete structures exposed to moisture.
Built with a high-accuracy capillary tube system, the AZA1108 maintains a constant water head over a defined test area and records the volume of water absorbed over specific time intervals — typically at 10, 30, and 60 minutes. The readings obtained help engineers understand the surface porosity of concrete, which is a critical indicator of resistance against weathering, chloride ingress, corrosion of reinforcement, and environmental deterioration.
Designed in compliance with BS 1881-208, this apparatus ensures reliable, repeatable, and standard-compliant results. Its sturdy, rust-proof construction and easy-to-use configuration make it ideal for both routine testing and advanced durability studies in construction material laboratories.
K-SLUMP TESTER AZA1104
AZA1104 K-Slump Tester is a fast, reliable, and non-destructive testing device designed to measure the workability and consistency of fresh concrete directly at construction sites or in laboratory environments.
