AZA 0977 CYLINDRICAL MEASURES

Description

The AZA 0977 Cylindrical Measures from Azalab are precision lab tools used in the determination of bulk density and void ratio of fine and coarse aggregates. These measurements are critical for quality control in concrete mix design, road construction, and various geotechnical applications.

Cylindrical measures provide standardized volume containers that, when filled with aggregates, allow the calculation of bulk density (unit weight) and help in assessing the degree of compaction, storage efficiency, and suitability for construction use.

🔍 Applications

Bulk density and void ratio are key characteristics of aggregates used in concrete production, asphalt mixing, and compacted base courses. These values help engineers and technicians optimize mix proportions, evaluate compaction characteristics, and identify material conformity to standards.

The AZA 0977 set is commonly used in:

• Civil engineering laboratories

• Construction material testing centers

• Roadwork and infrastructure projects

• Educational institutions offering civil and geotechnical programs

🛠️ Construction and Design

The cylindrical measures are fabricated from mild steel or aluminum, offering both durability and portability. The internal surface is smooth and accurately dimensioned to ensure precise volume measurements. Each container is fitted with lifting handles and is supplied with a tamping rod used to compact the aggregate during testing.

Models are available in multiple capacities:

• 3-liter (for fine aggregates)

• 5-liter

• 15-liter (commonly used for coarse aggregates)

The dimensions and volumes strictly conform to IS 2386 Part III, ASTM C29, and BS 812 standards.
