AZA 0848 PLASTIC LIMIT SET

Description

Plastic Limit Set AZA 0848 for Soil Testing Laboratories is a specialized test kit designed for determining the plastic limit of fine-grained soils as per Indian Standard IS: 2720 (Part 5) and ASTM D4318 specifications. The plastic limit is a critical index property used in the classification of soils and to understand their behavior under various moisture conditions.UTEST+2AZALAB+2NL Scientific+2

This test is an essential step in geotechnical investigations and civil engineering projects. The AZA 0848 Plastic Limit Set includes all necessary tools to perform the test accurately and efficiently in both field and laboratory settings.AZALAB+1UTEST+1UTEST+1AZALAB+1

Plastic Limit Set AZA 0848 – Accurate Soil Consistency Testing

The plastic limit is defined as the lowest moisture content at which the soil remains plastic (i.e., it can be rolled into threads without crumbling). By determining this limit, engineers and researchers can evaluate the workability, load-bearing capacity, and shrink-swell behavior of soil.

The AZA 0848 Plastic Limit Set includes a complete range of calibrated tools that ensure accurate test results while maintaining simplicity and convenience for the user. Each component is designed with ergonomics and lab standards in mind.

Kit Components

1. Glass Plate with Marked Lines – Used for rolling soil threads to a 3mm diameter for the test.

2. Spatula – Stainless steel spatula for mixing and handling the soil sample.

3. Moisture Containers (Set of 6) – Aluminum containers with lids for storing soil samples during weighing and drying.

4. Plastic Wash Bottle – Used for adding distilled water during soil preparation.

5. Flexible Calibrated Roller (optional) – For uniform rolling of soil threads.

6. Carrying Case (optional) – Padded box to carry the entire kit safely.
