The document describes various tools and equipment used for testing construction materials and concrete, including a trowel for applying small amounts of material, a universal testing machine for measuring tensile and compressive strength, a Marshall stability tester for measuring the load sustained by bituminous material, and a Gillmore apparatus for determining the set times of cement and mortars. It also lists cylindrical and rectangular molds for concrete strength testing, a density basket for aggregate specific gravity testing, an oven for curing materials, shovels and pails for moving bulk materials, scales for weighing objects, metal containers for holding samples, tamping rods used with molds and tests, and sieves for measuring particle size.

TROWEL is a small hand tool used for digging, applying,
smoothing, or moving small amounts of viscous or
particulate material.
UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINE, 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.
MARSHALL STABILITY TESTER measures the
maximum load sustained by the bituminous material at a loading rate of 50.8 mm/minute. The test load is increased until it reaches a maximum.
GILLMORE APPARATUS is used to determine initial and
final set times of Portland cement, masonry cement, hydraulic hydrated lime and certain mortars. CYLINDRICAL MOULD, is used for testing concrete cylinders for compressive strength tests. The Cylindrical Mould can be availed at market leading prices from us. Specifications
RECTANGULAR MOLD, used to test concrete
flexural strength. They are made from either plastic or steel depending on preference and standards. DENSITY BASKET, used to determine bulk specific gravity and absorption of coarse aggregates.
OVEN, colloquially known as a brick oven or stone
oven, is an oven consisting of a baking chamber made of fireproof brick, concrete, stone, clay, or cob.
SHOVEL, a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk
materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore. Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle.
PAIL, a watertight, vertical cylinder or truncated cone
or square, with an open top and a flat bottom, attached to a semicircular carrying handle called the bail. WEIGHING SCALES are used to measure weight and/or mass of an object, reports the United States Department of Agriculture. Dozens of types of scales exist, but the simplest scale uses a beam and a pivot to balance the weight of one known object with another.
METAL CONTAINER, used in a laboratory to hold reagents or
samples.
TAMPING ROD, a round, straight steel rod used with concrete
cylinder molds, slump cones, and unit weight tests. Measures 5/8" diameter by 24" length. Both ends are rounded to a hemispherical tip.
SIEVE, an instrument which is used for the measurement of
particle size. In its most common form it consists of a woven wire screen, with square apertures, rigidly mounted in a shallow cylindrical metal frame
