JOLTING APPARATUS AZA0802
The AZA0802 Jolting Apparatus is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for uniform compaction of cement mortar specimens, ensuring reproducibility and accuracy in strength testing. It plays a vital role in preparing mortar prisms for compressive and flexural strength tests, eliminating air voids and ensuring homogeneous density throughout each specimen.
Manufactured in accordance with IS 10080:1982, and suitable for use under EN 196-1 and ASTM C348 testing standards, the AZA0802 is essential for any laboratory involved in cement quality evaluation, research, or certification.
Whether used in construction QC labs, cement manufacturing units, academic institutions, or R&D centers, the AZA0802 offers dependable, consistent, and safe compaction performance for standardized mortar testing.
Why Compaction Matters in Mortar Testing
The quality and reliability of mortar strength tests depend heavily on the degree of compaction during specimen preparation. Air voids, improper leveling, or inconsistent compaction can lead to inaccurate test values and unreliable performance assessments.
The AZA0802 utilizes a mechanical cam-driven system delivering 60 precise jolts per minute, effectively removing entrapped air from the mortar mix. An inbuilt 60-second automatic timer ensures standard-compliant compaction by stopping the machine after the required number of jolts.
This ensures:
-
Highly consistent mortar density
-
Repeatable strength results
-
Compliance with national and international testing standards
