1. Sieve Set - A test sieve is a scientific screening

instrument, that utilizes wire sieve cloth
mounted on a rigid frame to help generate a
reliable particle size distribution curve. Sieves
with variating mesh openings are typically
stacked on top of each other, working to
separate the particles of a material sample
based on their size.
5. Slump Cone - measure the workability of a
fresh concrete mix following applicable ASTM
and AASHTO standards. The slump cone test
is performed for acceptance purposes, to
record mixture characteristics or as an indirect
method of determining the water/cement ratio.

2. Balance - Scales are tools used for measuring

weight. Balance scales are commonly used to
compare the weights of objects or to weigh
objects by balancing them with standard
weights.
6. Various Moulds - A mold or mould is a
hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or
pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or
ceramic raw material. The liquid hardens or
sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold
is a counterpart to a cast.

3. Graduated Beaker - A beaker is a cylindrical

piece of glassware that is marked with
gradations that are used for measuring liquid
volumes.
7. Hydrometer - A hydrometer is a laboratory
instrument used to measure the specific gravity
of liquids.
8. Universal Testing Machine - A 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. An earlier name for a tensile testing
machine is a tensiometer.
11. Tamping Rod - is used in the consolidation of
fresh concrete specimens in test applications
for the slump, air content, and strength per
ASTM and AASHTO standards. The stainless-
steel rods are corrosion-resistant, with
hemispherical tips at both ends.

12. Thermometer - an instrument that measures

temperature. It can measure the temperature
9. Concrete Mixer - A concrete mixer is a
of a solid such as food, a liquid such as water,
machine used in construction to mix cement,
or a gas such as air.
water, and other materials such as sand,
gravel, and sometimes additives, to make
concrete.

13. Vibrator - A concrete vibrator is a concrete tool

that produces stronger concrete by vigorously
shaking the concrete right after you pour it to
10. Pressure Gauge - are used to measure the
eliminate air bubbles or air pockets.
pressure of liquids, vapors, solids, and gases.
It is used for the inspection of air brakes on
trucks. Pressure gauges are used in chemical,
petrochemical, sanitary, pharmaceutical, and
process industries.

14. Vicat Apparatus - his machine is used to

determine the standard consistency of a
cement paste, as well as its initial and final
setting time.
15. Electric Oven - a heating device used to heat 18. Funnels - a pipe with a wide, often conical

16. Stopwatch - a timepiece designed to measure

19. Wire Basket - are containers made from
the amount of time that elapses between its
woven wires that can also be used in place of
activation and deactivation.
plastic baskets and are used to store or
organize materials in both household and
commercial lines of work.

17. Electric Fans - Fans are used for circulating

air in rooms and buildings; for cooling motors
and transmissions; for cooling and drying
20. Brushes - a common tool with bristles, wire, or
people, materials, or products; for exhausting
other filaments. The material of both the block

and bristles or filaments is chosen to withstand
materials; for forced draft in steam boilers; and

in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
chemicals, heat, or abrasion. It is used for
systems.
cleaning, grooming hair, make-up, painting,
surface finishing, and for many other purposes.
21. Hydraulic Jack - extremely useful mechanical
devices that are employed to lift heavy loads.
Using hydraulics, these jacks can afford
greater lift over larger distances. Hydraulic
jacks are commonly utilized in the automotive,
industrial, and construction industries.
22. Steel Pan - handle, process, and store
samples. The pans feature oversized flanges
for easy handling.
23. Shovel - a tool used to dig as well as to move
loose, granular materials (like dirt, gravel,
grain, or snow) from one spot to another.
24. Trowel - a small hand tool used for digging,
applying, smoothing, or moving small amounts
of viscous or particulate material.
25. Wheelbarrows - designed to distribute the
weight of its load between the wheel and the
operator, so enabling the convenient carriage
of heavier and bulkier loads than would be
possible were the weight carried entirely by the
operator. As such it is a second-class lever.
II. Difference between Tools and Equipment
Tools - generally considered a device or
implement, usually handheld, used to carry out
precision and accuracy for detail such as a
hammer or a screwdriver. It is specifically designed
to facilitate the completion of a task and is often
manual or hand-operated.
Equipment - a broader range of items, set of tools,
or machinery that are needed to perform a task or
activity that works together to achieve an outcome.
Equipment can include both manual and
automated items and is generally not limited to
handheld devices.
