SLUMP TEST APPARATUS AZA1102

The AZA1106 Kelley Ball Penetration Apparatus is a precise and durable instrument used to determine the workability of fresh concrete through direct steel ball penetration. Considered an effective alternative to the slump test, it provides a quantitative, repeatable, and non-disruptive measurement of concrete consistency, making it ideal for both laboratory and field applications. Engineered with robust materials and compliant with ASTM C360, this apparatus ensures consistent performance, long service life, and ease of use in demanding construction and testing environments. Key Features

• Direct workability assessment using steel ball penetration
• Fully compliant with ASTM C360
• Portable and rugged for field and lab testing
• Heavy-duty steel/aluminum frame for long-term durability
• Built-in scale for accurate depth measurement
• Simple setup and low maintenance
• Provides a reliable alternative to the slump test

The Azalab Mould Verification Toolset is a precision-engineered quality control kit designed for verifying the dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerances of concrete casting moulds and test specimens. It is an essential instrument set for laboratories conducting routine QC, R&D, and compliance testing in accordance with IS, ASTM, EN, and BS standards. This complete toolset ensures that cube moulds, beam moulds, and cylindrical moulds meet the required tolerances for flatness, perpendicularity, straightness, and dimensional conformity—parameters that directly impact test reliability and reproducibility. Key Capabilities The AZA1121 verification kit allows accurate measurement of:

• Flatness of mould and specimen surfaces
• Straightness along mould edges and specimen sides
• Perpendicularity of internal walls and corners
• Dimensional accuracy (L × W × H, and diameter for cylinders)
• Go/No-Go tolerance checks for standardized cube mould sizes
• Surface deviation & gap measurement using feeler gauges

Each instrument is manufactured using precision-ground stainless steel or hardened, anodized aluminum, ensuring long-term stability and high measurement accuracy.

The AZA1125 One-Piece Plastic Cube Mould (150 mm) from Azalab is a next-generation alternative to traditional metal cube moulds. Built from high-strength, non-deformable engineering plastic, this mould is designed to offer superior ease of use, long service life, and consistent dimensional accuracy for concrete compressive strength testing.

Its seamless, single-piece construction eliminates the need for bolts, screws, or external frames. Users simply apply demoulding oil, cast the concrete, and after curing, eject the cube using compressed air or water pressure, achieving clean and damage-free removal every time.

Compared to heavy metal moulds, the AZA1125 weighs nearly 90% less, providing clear advantages in portability, handling, and storage—making it ideal for both laboratory and on-site testing environments. Manufactured using an eco-friendly, non-polluting process, this mould supports sustainability goals in modern construction testing.

The AZA1119 Tamping Rod is a precision-engineered tool designed for proper compaction of concrete during laboratory and field testing. Essential for slump tests, cube/cylinder preparation, and unit weight determination, this rod ensures accurate removal of air voids, resulting in reliable and repeatable test outcomes.

Manufactured from hardened high-grade steel or stainless steel, the rod maintains dimensional accuracy, bending resistance, and a corrosion-proof finish. Each unit is polished to a smooth surface and features hemispherical ends to prevent mold damage and ensure uniform rodding action. The AZA1119 conforms to ASTM C143, ASTM C192, ASTM C138, IS 1199, and other major testing standards.

It is available in 16 mm and 25 mm diameters, with standard lengths of 600 mm (optional 450 mm). The rods are suitable for use in construction materials labs, QC departments, R&D centers, and field sampling units.
