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. It provides instant slump approximation without the need for traditional slump cones, base plates, or tamping rods, making it an essential tool for modern concrete quality control.
This handheld instrument is widely used by civil engineers, site technicians, and quality inspectors who require quick, repeatable, and real-time results during concrete batching, transportation, and placement. Its simple design eliminates complicated setup, reducing testing time and operator fatigue.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, the probe is corrosion-resistant and suitable for harsh site conditions. The etched scale markings provide direct readings in millimeters or inches, allowing accurate penetration depth measurement without additional instruments.
Unlike traditional slump testing methods, the AZA1104 enables non-destructive testing, meaning the concrete surface remains intact and usable after testing. This feature is especially useful when multiple checks are needed during large pours or continuous batching operation
L SHAPE BOX APPARATUS AZA1112
AZA1112 L Shape Box Apparatus is a precision testing device designed to evaluate the passing ability and flow performance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) in congested reinforcement conditions. This apparatus simulates real-world scenarios such as densely reinforced beams, columns, tunnels, and bridge segments, where concrete must flow freely without segregation or blockage.
The distinctive L-shaped design creates a controlled flow path where freshly mixed SCC moves from a vertical chamber into a horizontal channel containing reinforcement bars. By measuring the concrete heights at both ends (H1 and H2), the H2/H1 ratio is calculated, providing a direct, quantitative assessment of the concrete’s ability to pass through obstructions.
Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant steel, AZA1112 is built for long-term laboratory and site use. It conforms to EN 12350-10 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring global acceptance of test results.
