GAUGING TROWEL AZA0807
- The AZA0807 Gauging Trowel is a precision-built laboratory tool essential for manual mixing of cement paste, mortar, and related construction materials. Its durable stainless-steel blade and ergonomic handle provide excellent control, enabling the preparation of uniform and contamination-free samples for cement testing procedures.
Widely used in laboratories performing IS:4031, IS:1727, and other hydraulic cement testing standards, the AZA0807 ensures accurate gauging of cement paste—an important step in tests related to consistency, setting time, fineness, compressive strength, and soundness.
Designed for heavy-duty laboratory operation, the trowel features a flexible, mirror-finished blade that resists corrosion and prevents material adherence. Whether for sample preparation in government labs, cement manufacturing QC labs, or academic institutions, the AZA0807 offers reliability, precision, and long-lasting performance.

Description
Design & Functionality
The AZA0807 is crafted with a flat, polished stainless-steel blade ranging from 10–20 cm, providing smooth scraping and folding motion. The hardwood or polypropylene handle ensures a comfortable grip and reduces wrist fatigue during repetitive mixing tasks.
Its pointed or rounded blade shape allows accurate gathering, spreading, and folding of cement paste—critical for achieving homogeneity during mortar mixing.
The tool is engineered to aid efficient sample preparation during:
- Vicat test paste preparation
- Initial & final setting time testing
- Fineness test mixing after sieving
- Mortar cube sample preparation
- General-purpose mixing in civil engineering labs
