Sieve Set

A sieve, or sifter, is a device for

separating wanted elements from
unwanted material or for
characterizing the particle size
distribution of a sample of
(aggregates, Sand, and other soil
particles)

Steel Pan

A flat, shallow container or receptacle

made of wood, metal, etc., usually
with slightly raised edges, used for
carrying, holding, containing various
aggregates to be tested.

Electric Oven

Designed for drying, baking,

conditioning and moisture
determination. Temperature from
ambient to over 340C is controlled
by a digital thermoregulator-
indicator. The ovens are equipped of
a dual safety thermostat with higher
thermic threshold to prevent
accidental over-temperatures, and to
ensure safe working conditions
Concrete Mixer

A concrete mixer is a device that

homogeneously
combines cement, aggregate such as
sand or gravel, and water to
form concrete. A typical concrete
mixer uses a revolving drum to mix
the components

Mobile Concrete Mixers

You can move this concrete mixer
around from place to place without
any difficulty, ideal if you need to
use concrete in more than one
place in the same area
Stationary Concrete Mixers
It cannot be moved because they
are fixed in only one place. The
concrete are pour it into molds
when they are constructing a
building.

Shovel

Are meant for shifting earth from one

location to another, have goosenecks
behind the blade that help to lift the
shovel out from the ground after it is
embedded.
Trowel

Meant for loosening soil and rising it

up, digging holes and trenches.

Beaker

A beaker is a simple container for

stirring, mixing and heating liquids
commonly used in many laboratories.

Various Molds

Three types of moulds use in material

testing lab for preparation of
Concrete specimen .
Cube Moulds
Cube Mold: 150 mm x 150 mm x150 mm
Cube mold: 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm
Cube mold: 70.6 mm x 70.6 mm x 70.6 mm

Cylinder Moulds
6 x 12 in. (15.2 x 30.5 cm),
and 4 x 8 in (10 x 20 cm)

Beam Moulds
100x100x400
100x100x500
and 150x150x600

Balance
Laboratory balances are used to
measure an objects mass to a very
high degree of precision.
Vicat Aparatus

Is used to find out the consistency,

initial setting time and final setting
time of the cement. In the normal
consistency test we have to find out
the amount of water to be added to
the cement to form a cement paste
of normal consistency.

Vibrator

A vibrator is a mechanical device to

generate vibrations, generated by
an electric motor with an
unbalanced mass on its driveshaft.

Immersion or Needle Vibrators - It

essentially consists of a steel tube
(with one end closed and rounded)
having an eccentric vibrating element
inside it.
External or Shutter Vibrators - These
vibrators are clamped rigidly to the
form work at the pre-determined
points so that the form and concrete
are vibrated.
Surface Vibrator - These are placed
directly on the concrete mass.
Vibrating Table - The vibrating table
consists of a rigidly built steel
platform mounted on flexible springs
and is driven by an electric motor.
Slump Cone

A metal mold in the form of a

truncated cone with a top diameter
of 4"(102mm), a bottom diameter of
8"(203mm), and a height of
12"(305mm), used to fabricate the
specimen for a slump test. A 2 ft
(610 mm) long bullet nosed metal
rod, 5 (16 mm) in diameter

Tamping rods

Are dimensionally accurate rods used

to tamp fresh concrete into cylinder
molds and slump cones to eliminate
voids and excess air.

Universal Testing Machine

An instrument so designed that it is

capable of exerting a tensile,
compressive, or transverse stress on
a specimen under test. Further, it can
be adapted for the determination of
Brinell hardness, ductility, cold bend,
and other properties. The machine
consists essentially of three systems:
loading, weighing, and indicating, the
loading being applied either
mechanically or hydraulically.
