Concrete Laboratory
| Name | Description | Instruments/Softwares |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic Compression Testing Machine (3000 KN) | Compression testing machine is used to determine the compressive strength of cube, cylinder (i.e. hardened concrete) and Bricks. |  |
| Automatic Compression Testing Machine (500 KN). | The digital compression testing machine is used to determine the compressive strength of cement cubes and bricks. |  |
| Flexure Testing Machine. | The Flexure Strength Testing Machine is designed to test flexural strength of concrete beams. |  |
| Universal Testing Machine. | Universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. |  |
| Concrete Pan Mixer. |  |
|
| Flow Table | Flow tables are used for determining consistency (flow) and for preparing mortars of standard consistency for testing. Flow is determined as a percent increase in the diameter of a conically-molded mortar. |  |
| Los Angeles Abrasion Testing Machine. | Los Angeles abrasion test on aggregates is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation and disintegration |  |
| Aggregate Impact Value Apparatus | This Apparatus is used to determine aggregate impact value of coarse aggregate |  |
| Air Permeability Apparatus | Blaine Air Permeability Apparatus is used to determine the fineness of Portland cement, limes and similar powders expressed in terms of their specific surface |  |
| Automatic Blaine’s Apparatus | Automatic Blaine’s Apparatus is used to determine the fineness of Portland cement, limes and similar powders expressed in terms of their specific surface |  |
| Compaction factor Apparatus | Compacting Factor Apparatus is used to determine the compaction factor of concrete with low, medium and high workability |  |
| Crushing Value of aggregates Mould |  |
|
| Length gauge and Thickness gauge | Length Gauge (Elongation Index BS), is used for determining the elongation index of aggregates. Thickness Gauge is used to determine if the aggregate particles are to be considered as flaky, i.e. their thickness is less than 0.6 of their nominal size. |
 |
| Sieve Shaker | Sieve shaker is an instrument that used in particle analysis. It is used to shake a stack of test sieves which are placed in order (largest aperture on the top and smallest on the bottom), so that materials get sifted through according to particle sizes |  |
| Slump Test Apparatus | Concrete slump test equipment is used to measure the consistency and workability of fresh concrete, and indirectly, the water/cement ratio of the concrete mix |  |
| Specific Gravity Apparatus |  |
|
| Torsion Testing Machine | Torsion Tests are done on materials to determine properties such as the modulus of elasticity in shear, the torsion yield strength & the modulus of rupture |  |
| Vee Bee Consistometer | Vee bee consistometer test is used to determine workability of concrete and consistency of concrete |  |
| Vibration Machine | Vibration Machine is used for vibrating the mix in moulds at a frequency of 12,000 ± 400 cycles per minute. |  |
| Vicat Apparatus | Vicat Apparatus is for determining the normal consistency, standard consistency and time of setting of cement and lime in accordance with IS, ASTM, BS and AASHTO specifications |  |
| Vibration Table | Proper compaction of cement concrete while casting specimens for compression testing is essential to achieve higher compressive strength. Vibrating Table is used for this purpose |  |
| Sieves sets |  |
|
| Accelerated curing Tank | This apparatus is used for carrying out Accelerated curing of concrete samples in laboratory |  |
| Digi Mortar Mixer | This apparatus has specially been designed to prepare cement mortar for strength determination as specified in IS:4031 |  |
| Density Buckets |  |
