FLOW TABLE (MOTORISED) AZA0791A

Description

Flow Table Motorised – AZA0791A is a laboratory-grade instrument used to determine the consistency and flow characteristics of cement mortar. It is essential for testing the workability of fresh mortar mixes, particularly in compliance with ASTM C230 and IS 5512.

This motorised flow table from Azalab offers precise and repeatable test results by automating the drop cycles, reducing human error, and ensuring accurate assessments for quality control in construction material labs.

Overview:

The AZA0791A Flow Table (Motorised) is designed to assess how mortar spreads under standardized conditions. By measuring the diameter of mortar flow after a set number of controlled drops, engineers and lab technicians can evaluate the material’s consistency — a critical property in ensuring the proper application and bonding of cement-based mixtures.

The motorised version offers enhanced repeatability compared to manually operated tables, minimizing test variations caused by inconsistent lifting and dropping.

Key Components:

• Flow Table: 250mm diameter, with engraved concentric circles for measuring spread
• Motorised Drop Mechanism: Ensures 25 uniform drops in 15 seconds
• Brass Flow Mould: 100 mm base diameter × 70 mm top diameter × 50 mm high
• Tamping Rod: Stainless steel, with hemispherical end
• Digital or Analog Timer: Ensures test cycle precision (optional)

Working Procedure:

1. Freshly prepared cement mortar is placed into the brass mould at the center of the table.
2. The mould is removed vertically, allowing the mortar to spread.
3. The table is automatically lifted and dropped 25 times within 15 seconds.
4. The resulting spread diameter is measured to assess flowability.

Applications:

• Cement and mortar quality assurance
• Construction material research and development
• On-site or lab-based mortar workability testing
• Training in civil engineering and materials science labs

Benefits of Motorised Operation:

• Improved consistency across tests
• Time-saving and labor-reducing
• Reduced operator dependency
• Accurate drop timing controlled by an internal motor system

Build Quality:

The AZA0791A features a robust cast iron base, powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, and brass fittings for long-term durability. The motor unit is enclosed safely to prevent contamination or accidental contact.

The flow table’s movement is smooth and uniform, ensuring it meets the drop height and frequency specifications required by testing standards.

Industry Standards:

The apparatus is designed and calibrated as per:

• ASTM C230/C230M – Standard Specification for Flow Table for Use in Tests of Hydraulic Cement
• IS 5512 – Indian Standard for flow tests on cement mortar
