MOISTURE TINS AZA1049
AZA1049 Moisture Tins from Azalab are precision laboratory containers specifically designed for the determination of moisture (water) content in soils, aggregates, powders, and other granular materials. These tins are a fundamental accessory in geotechnical, civil engineering, construction material, and academic laboratories, where accurate moisture measurement is essential for reliable test results.
Manufactured from lightweight aluminum or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, AZA1049 moisture tins are engineered to withstand repeated heating cycles, handling, and long-term laboratory use without deformation or loss of dimensional stability.
Description
Moisture content determination is a critical step in evaluating the engineering properties of soils, including compaction behavior, shear strength, permeability, and classification. In accordance with standard testing procedures, soil samples are placed in moisture tins, weighed, oven-dried at 105°C to 110°C, and weighed again to calculate the percentage of water loss.
AZA1049 moisture tins feature a flat-bottom design to ensure uniform heat distribution during oven drying, and tight-fitting lids that minimize moisture exchange during sample storage, transport, and weighing. The seamless metal construction prevents sample leakage, absorption, or contamination, ensuring high repeatability and accuracy in moisture content calculations.

AZA1049 Moisture Tins are manufactured to meet the requirements of:
- ASTM D2216 – Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil
- IS: 2720 (Part 2) – Determination of Water Content
These standards make AZA1049 suitable for government labs, consultancy firms, contractors, and educational institutions.
