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.

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.
