FLEXURAL FRAME 100 KN AZA1137
The Azalab AZA1137 Flexural Frame 100 kN is a precision-engineered apparatus used to determine the flexural (bending) strength of concrete beams, tiles, slabs, and paving blocks. Designed for reliability and consistent test results, this frame is used widely in construction testing labs, infrastructure QA/QC facilities, R&D institutions, and universities.
Built with a rigid steel structure—either a two-column or four-column configuration—the frame minimizes deflection under maximum load, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable results. With a capacity of 100 kN (10 tons), it accommodates standard concrete beam sizes such as 100×100×500 mm and 150×150×700 mm, along with various tile or slab formats.
The frame integrates a high-accuracy load cell with a digital indicator or PC-connected data acquisition system. Test force is delivered through a hydraulic power pack (manual or servo-controlled), allowing smooth, controlled application of load.

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.

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.
