FLEXURAL FRAME 100 KN AZA1137

AZA1105 Chase Air Indicator is a compact, lightweight, and highly practical field instrument designed to measure the air content in freshly mixed concrete. It is widely used in construction sites where rapid quality decisions are required and laboratory testing equipment is not readily available.

This device serves as a reliable field alternative to standard air content methods such as ASTM C231 (Pressure Method) and ASTM C173 (Volumetric Method). While it is not intended to replace laboratory-grade instruments, it provides fast, useful guidance that helps engineers and site supervisors maintain proper concrete mix quality.

Air entrainment plays a critical role in concrete durability, especially in regions exposed to freeze–thaw cycles, and contributes significantly to workability and pumpability of concrete. AZA1105 helps ensure that air content remains within the recommended range (typically 4%–7%), reducing the risk of weak or brittle concrete.

The working principle is based on fluid displacement and vacuum pressure balance. A representative mortar sample is collected and placed inside the testing chamber, where a controlled vacuum is applied. The internal pressure difference is translated directly to a calibrated dial gauge showing the approximate air content percentage.

With no electrical components, moving mechanical assemblies, or complex maintenance requirements, the AZA1105 is extremely reliable and built for tough field conditions. Its rugged body and easy-to-read dial make it suitable for continuous daily use in real-world jobsite environments.

AZA1102 Slump Test Apparatus is designed for the accurate evaluation of concrete workability and consistency in both laboratory and field conditions. It is an essential quality control tool used in construction projects, civil engineering laboratories, and educational institutions.

This apparatus complies with IS 7320 and BS 1881-102 standards, ensuring reliable and standardized test results. It is primarily used to determine the slump value of fresh concrete, indicating its ease of placement, compaction, and finishing.

The set includes a durable metal slump cone manufactured to standard dimensions — 200 mm bottom diameter, 100 mm top diameter, and 300 mm height — providing dimensional accuracy and long service life. A 16 mm diameter tamping rod, 600 mm long with rounded ends, is provided to properly compact the concrete sample in layers.

The apparatus is suitable for testing concrete with aggregate sizes up to 38 mm, making it ideal for common residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications.

To improve handling and stability, the unit includes a rigid base plate with clamping arrangements and lifting handles, making it easy to use both on construction sites and in laboratories.

The AZA1102 Slump Test Apparatus is known for its simple operation, rugged construction, high accuracy, and low maintenance, making it a dependable choice for routine concrete testing.
