Density Meter AZA0969
The AZA0969 Digital Density Meter from AZA Lab is a high-precision analytical instrument designed for the accurate determination of density, relative density, and API gravity of liquids, petroleum products, and crude oils. The instrument is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D4052 and ASTM D5002, utilizing advanced digital oscillating U-tube technology to deliver fast, repeatable, and highly reliable results.
Density is a critical physical property for characterizing petroleum fractions, fuels, chemicals, and process fluids. The AZA0969 provides exceptional accuracy across a wide measuring range, making it an ideal solution for petroleum laboratories, refineries, inspection agencies, chemical plants, and quality control laboratories.
Description
Principle of Operation
The AZA0969 operates on the digital density analyzer principle, where the oscillation frequency of a precision glass U-tube changes as a function of the sample’s density. The system automatically injects the sample, stabilizes the temperature, and measures density with minimal operator intervention.
Integrated HD video monitoring allows real-time observation of the sample inside the measuring cell, reducing errors caused by air bubbles, contamination, or incomplete filling. The measured density values can be automatically converted to API gravity, relative density, or alcohol concentration using built-in calculation models or user-defined formulas.

DISTILLATION FOR CUT BACK BITUMEN AZA0937
The AZA0937 Distillation for Cut-Back Bitumen from Azalab is a precision laboratory apparatus designed for the quantitative determination of volatile diluents (fluxing agents or solvents) present in cut-back asphaltic materials. This test is essential for evaluating the curing behavior, workability, and final performance of cut-back bitumen used in road construction and pavement maintenance applications.
Cut-back bitumen relies on volatile solvents to temporarily reduce viscosity for ease of handling and application. The controlled distillation performed using the AZA0937 accurately measures these volatile components, enabling engineers and laboratory technicians to classify cut-back bitumen grades and verify compliance with project and regulatory specifications.
DUCTILITY TESTING APPARATUS AZA0956
The AZA0956 Ductility Testing Apparatus from AZALAB is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed to determine the ductility of bituminous materials, including paving grade bitumen, asphalt binders, and similar viscoelastic materials. Ductility is defined as the ability of a bituminous material to undergo tensile deformation before rupture and is a critical parameter for evaluating binder performance in flexible pavements.
In road construction, ductility testing plays a vital role in assessing how well bitumen will perform under temperature variations, repeated traffic loading, and long-term aging. A binder with adequate ductility is less prone to cracking and brittle failure, thereby contributing to durable, flexible, and high-performing pavements. The AZA0956 accurately measures the elongation distance (in centimeters) that a standard bitumen specimen can be stretched at a specified temperature and rate of pull before breaking.
REFRIGERATED DUCTILITY TEST AZA0957
The AZA0957 Refrigerated Ductility Testing Apparatus from AZALAB is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to determine the ductility of asphalt binders and bituminous materials at low temperatures. This test is critically important for evaluating the performance of asphalt pavements in cold and variable climatic conditions, where thermal contraction can lead to cracking and premature pavement failure.
Ductility, defined as the distance a bituminous binder can be stretched under tensile stress before rupture, is a key indicator of binder flexibility. At low temperatures, asphalt binders become increasingly stiff and brittle. The AZA0957 enables engineers and material technologists to accurately assess a binder’s resistance to thermal cracking, ensuring the selection of materials suitable for cold climates and long-term pavement durability.

STANDARD TAR VISCOMETER AZA0952
The AZA0952 Standard Tar Viscometer from AZALAB is a robust and widely used laboratory instrument designed for the empirical determination of viscosity of cut-back bitumen, road oils, and other fluid bituminous materials. Viscosity is one of the most critical properties governing the handling, application, and performance of bituminous binders in road construction and maintenance works.
In pavement engineering, the viscosity of cut-back bitumen and road oils directly influences their sprayability, penetration into aggregates, coating efficiency, and workability under field conditions.
