AZA 0786 CEMENT SAMPLER

Description

Cement Sampler is an essential laboratory tool designed for collecting dry cement samples from bags or bulk containers for testing and quality assurance. In construction and civil engineering, accurate sampling is vital for ensuring that materials meet technical specifications. This tool ensures that representative, contamination-free samples can be collected quickly and efficiently.

The Cement Sampler is commonly used in cement plants, R&D labs, and on-site construction quality control environments. Its slender, tubular design makes it easy to insert into cement bags and extract samples from varying depths. Made from high-grade stainless steel or corrosion-resistant materials, this sampler ensures long-lasting performance under heavy use.

Proper sampling is fundamental to laboratory procedures. As outlined in IS 3535:1986 – Methods of Sampling Hydraulic Cement, cement must be sampled from different portions of a lot — typically the top, middle, and bottom — and then combined into a composite sample for accurate test results. The Cement Sampler is ideal for executing this method, thanks to its deep-reach design and efficient discharge system.

Likewise, international practices like ASTM C183 – Standard Practice for Sampling and the Amount of Testing of Hydraulic Cement specify detailed guidelines for collecting and testing hydraulic cement. This sampler meets those criteria, making it suitable for use in globally recognized testing environments.

Key Features:

• Long tubular body (30–50 cm) for deep sampling

• Angled slit/opening for effective material capture

• Comfortable handle or grip for ease of use

• Easy to clean and reuse

• Consistent sampling without contamination or loss

By enabling precise extraction, the Cement Sampler helps labs perform accurate tests on fineness, setting time, soundness, and compressive strength — crucial indicators of cement quality. Inconsistent or poor sampling methods can lead to unreliable test results, which in turn may affect structural integrity on construction sites.

Typical Use Cases:

• Material testing labs and third-party QC inspection

• In-house lab testing in cement manufacturing plants

• Academic and research institutions for training purposes

• On-site verification of incoming cement batches

• Dispute resolution in construction quality assessments

Why Choose This Cement Sampler?
Unlike makeshift tools or improvised techniques, this specialized sampler is engineered to match the geometries and physical behavior of fine powdered materials like cement. Its smooth finish minimizes dust buildup and makes it easy to clean, while its precision-cut slit ensures uniform sample collection without clumping.

Whether you’re working in a BIS-certified lab or following ASTM procedures, this sampler helps ensure your data is defensible, standardized, and verifiable. Pair it with airtight sample containers to maintain moisture stability and prevent premature hydration.
