L SHAPE BOX APPARATUS AZA1112
AZA1112 L Shape Box Apparatus is a precision testing device designed to evaluate the passing ability and flow performance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) in congested reinforcement conditions. This apparatus simulates real-world scenarios such as densely reinforced beams, columns, tunnels, and bridge segments, where concrete must flow freely without segregation or blockage.
The distinctive L-shaped design creates a controlled flow path where freshly mixed SCC moves from a vertical chamber into a horizontal channel containing reinforcement bars.
