CRACK MICROSCOPE AZA1153

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.

The AZA1118 Labomix Concrete Pan Mixer is designed for demanding, high-volume mixing operations in construction laboratories, R&D facilities, and material testing centers. Built for durability and precision, it delivers consistent blends of concrete, mortar, grout, and aggregate mixes while supporting rigorous IS/ASTM test procedures.

Engineered with a high-efficiency gear-driven transmission, it provides stable torque, low maintenance requirements, and excellent mixing uniformity. The unit is available in multiple capacities from 90 litres to 300 litres, enabling users to select suitable volume for their operational needs.

The mixer features exchangeable mixing shovels, a safe-locking automatic discharge system, and large mobility wheels that allow a single operator to handle batching, mixing, and discharging efficiently.

The AZA1126 Plastic Cube Mould is a precision-engineered solution designed for casting 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm concrete cubes used in compressive strength testing. Manufactured from high-impact, corrosion-resistant plastic, this mould offers an excellent balance of durability, ease of use, and portability—making it ideal for laboratories, construction sites, and training institutes. Its modular construction, consisting of detachable side walls and a sturdy base, allows for fast assembly and easy demoulding. The smooth internal surface ensures the concrete cube is removed cleanly without surface defects, supporting consistent, repeatable test results. Unlike metal moulds, the AZA1126 is lightweight, rust-free, and requires minimal maintenance, even in humid or coastal environments. The mould complies with IS 10086 and BS 1881-108, ensuring suitability for standardized concrete compressive strength testing procedures.

The AZA1119 Tamping Rod is a precision-engineered tool designed for proper compaction of concrete during laboratory and field testing. Essential for slump tests, cube/cylinder preparation, and unit weight determination, this rod ensures accurate removal of air voids, resulting in reliable and repeatable test outcomes.

Manufactured from hardened high-grade steel or stainless steel, the rod maintains dimensional accuracy, bending resistance, and a corrosion-proof finish. Each unit is polished to a smooth surface and features hemispherical ends to prevent mold damage and ensure uniform rodding action. The AZA1119 conforms to ASTM C143, ASTM C192, ASTM C138, IS 1199, and other major testing standards.

It is available in 16 mm and 25 mm diameters, with standard lengths of 600 mm (optional 450 mm). The rods are suitable for use in construction materials labs, QC departments, R&D centers, and field sampling units.
