Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

Automatic digital compression testing machine (Product Code: SLE/CE/01) is a hydraulic load frame with a digital controller used to crush hardened concrete specimens and record their compressive strength in civil engineering and materials testing laboratories. It is offered in 2000 kN and 3000 kN capacities, and once the specimen parameters are entered a single press of the start button runs the complete automatic test cycle. This engineering lab equipment is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Compression Testing Machine Used For?

The machine determines the compressive strength of concrete cubes and cylinders after they have been cast and cured. The operator enters the specimen details, presses start, and the controller closes the gap quickly before loading the specimen at the selected rate until it fails. The load-versus-time curve and the live load rate stay on screen, and each result is stored in memory for later printing or transfer to a PC over RS 232.

For consistent results, centre each specimen on the 300 mm platen, wipe the platens clean between tests and check that the specimen fits within the 340 mm vertical clearance. Given a weight of up to 1095 kg, plan a level, rigid floor before delivery. Laboratories buying test and measurement instruments in India for concrete quality control, college practicals or project-site labs use this class of machine as their main strength tester.

Flexure Testing Machine Digital (Product Code: SLE/CE/02) is an automatic, digitally controlled load frame used to measure the flexural and transverse strength of concrete beams, kerbs, flagstones and interlocking pavers in civil engineering laboratories. It comes with a 100 kN or 200 kN welded steel frame and a dual-stage power pack that loads specimens at 1 kN/s to 20 kN/s. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for college and quality-control labs.

Specifications

What Is the Digital Flexure Testing Machine Used For?

Pavement slabs, kerbs and beams fail in bending long before they crush, so their flexural strength matters as much as cube strength. With the right accessory fitted to the frame, this machine loads a beam in bending, a kerb or flagstone transversely, or a paver in indirect tension, and the controller holds the chosen rate until failure while plotting load against time.

The power pack uses a low-pressure pump to bring the ram quickly onto the specimen and then switches to a high-pressure radial piston pump for the test itself, which keeps loading smooth and quiet. Because the ram returns under dead weight rather than by pumped pressure, the load cell reading is not disturbed. Laboratories looking for engineering lab equipment in India can also link the frame to a compatible compression testing machine as a second frame.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Frame capacity: 100 kN or 200 kN.
• The tests you will run (beams, kerbs, flagstones, pavers) so the matching accessories can be quoted.
• Whether the frame will work alone or as a second frame on a compression machine you already own.
• Quantity and delivery city or port.

What Is the Concrete Cube Mould Used For?

Cube moulds turn a fresh batch of concrete or mortar into identical test specimens. The mould is assembled on its base plate, lightly oiled inside, filled in layers and compacted by hand rod or on a vibrating table, then struck off level. After initial setting the sides are released, the cube is cured, and it is finally crushed in a compression testing machine to report strength.

The 150 mm and 100 mm moulds suit concrete, while the 70.6 mm three gang mould casts three cement mortar cubes at once and the 50 mm cast iron mould is intended for mortar. Clamp type moulds open into two or four parts for easy stripping; light weight versions are easier to carry between site and lab. Clean and dry each mould after use to keep the machined faces true.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Cube size: 50, 70.6, 75, 100 or 150 mm, or an inch size.
• Type: light weight, clamp type four-part, clamp type two-part, single gang or three gang.

Cylindrical Mould (Product Code: SLE/CE/04) is a cast iron mould, split vertically into two halves, used to cast cylindrical concrete specimens for strength testing in civil engineering and construction material laboratories. Five sizes run from 100 mm dia x 200 mm to 300 mm dia x 600 mm, with the mean internal diameter held within ±0.2 mm and base and top plates machined flat to ±0.03 mm. The mould is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of lab equipment for technical institutes, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Cylindrical Mould Used For?

Where a specification calls for cylinders instead of cubes, this mould produces them. The two halves are clamped together on the base plate, the inside is lightly oiled, and fresh concrete is placed and compacted in layers before the top is finished level. Once the concrete has set, the halves are separated so the cylinder comes out without chipping its edges, ready for curing and then compression or other strength tests.

The 150 x 300 mm and 100 x 200 mm sizes give the usual height-to-diameter ratio of two, the 150 x 150 mm mould gives a short cylinder, and the large 300 x 600 mm mould suits concrete made with bigger aggregate. Keep the machined joint faces clean so the halves close tightly and the specimen stays true to size.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Size (dia x height): 100 x 200, 150 x 150, 150 x 300, 160 x 320 or 300 x 600 mm.
• Number of moulds per size, based on how many cylinders you cast per batch.
• The test standard your project follows, so the right size is confirmed.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this cylindrical mould. Casting halves, base plates and top plates are machined and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the finished moulds are shipped factory-direct to colleges, polytechnics, commercial testing laboratories, dealers and importers.

It is made in cast iron or mild steel in five sizes from 100 x 100 x 500 mm to 150 x 150 x 750 mm, each supplied complete with a base plate and with faces machined flat to ±0.2 mm. The mould is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM technical educational equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Beam Mould Used For?

Concrete for pavements, slabs and precast units is judged on how well it resists bending, and that is measured on beam specimens. The four side plates are assembled on the base plate, the inner faces are lightly oiled, and concrete is placed in layers and compacted on a vibrating table or with a poker vibrator. The surface is then struck off with a straight edge.

After setting, the plates are released one by one so the beam can be lifted out without cracking, then cured and broken in a flexure testing machine. The 100 x 100 x 500 mm size suits smaller aggregate and student practicals, while the 150 x 150 mm sections in 600, 700 or 750 mm lengths cover larger aggregate and project testing. Clean the joint faces after every use so the mould closes square.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Beam size, from the five listed sizes.
• Material: cast iron or mild steel.
• Number of moulds per size, based on beams cast per batch.
• The flexural test standard your laboratory follows.

Flexure Testing Machine Manual (Product Code: SLE/CE/06) is a motorised mechanical tester used to determine the flexural strength of 40 x 40 x 160 mm mortar prisms by single-point loading in cement and concrete laboratories. Load is applied through a three-roller attachment at 4 to 6 kg/s and read on a proving ring fitted with a sensitive dial gauge, so no electronics are needed to take a reading. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM TVET lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Mortar Flexure Testing Machine Used For?

Cement and mortar are graded partly on flexural strength, measured on small prisms. The prism is laid across the two lower rollers, the third roller is brought down onto its centre, and the motor drives the load up at a steady rate until the prism snaps. The operator notes the dial gauge reading at failure and converts it to load for that proving ring, from which flexural strength is worked out.

Because the machine is purely mechanical, it suits polytechnic and university practicals where students should see how load, deflection and strength relate. Keep the rollers clean and free of mortar crumbs, set the loading speed before each series, and handle the proving ring and dial gauge with care, since they carry the measurement.

OEM Manufacturer

This flexure testing machine is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). The frame, drive and roller attachment are made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and each machine is supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, cement and construction laboratories, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What specimen does the Flexure Testing Machine Manual test?
The Flexure Testing Machine Manual tests 40 x 40 x 160 mm mortar prisms for flexural strength by single-point loading. The prism rests on two 10 mm rollers 100 mm apart while a third roller loads it at the centre of the opposite face.

How is load measured on this flexure machine?
On the Flexure Testing Machine Manual, load is measured with a proving ring fitted with a sensitive dial gauge. The dial reading at failure is converted to load for that ring, so the machine needs no electronic display.

Is the Flexure Testing Machine Manual motor driven?
Yes. Despite the word manual in its name, the Flexure Testing Machine Manual is a motorised mechanical unit; the speed is adjusted so the load on the specimen rises at 4 to 6 kg/s. The load itself is read by eye on the proving ring dial gauge.

What power supply does the machine need?
The Flexure Testing Machine Manual runs on a 230 V, single phase, 50 cycles AC supply. If your laboratory uses a different mains supply, mention it in your enquiry so we can confirm what can be offered.

Slump Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/07) is a slump cone set used to measure the workability of fresh concrete on construction sites and in civil engineering laboratories. The cone measures 200 mm across the base, 100 mm across the top and 300 mm in height; it clamps to a base plate with a lifting handle and comes with a 16 mm x 600 mm steel rod graduated in millimetres. The set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India for colleges and site labs.

Specifications

What Is the Slump Cone Used For?

The slump test is the quickest check that a concrete batch has the consistency the mix design intended. The cone is clamped to the dampened base plate, filled in layers, and each layer is rodded with the rounded end of the steel rod before the top is struck off. The cone is then lifted straight up, and the drop of the concrete below the cone height is measured with the millimetre graduations on the rod.

The shape of the slumped concrete also tells you something: an even drop shows a cohesive mix, while a sheared or collapsed heap points to a lean or over-wet batch. Carry the set by the base-plate handle, and wash cone, plate and rod before the concrete hardens on them. For very stiff mixes, a Vee Bee or compaction factor test gives more useful readings.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, supplies this slump test set from Ambala, Haryana, to schools of engineering, ready-mix and site laboratories, contractors and dealers across India and international markets. The company sources the set to your order and remains your contact for quotations, spare rods or cones and repeat orders — just ask. For vendor registration, the supplying company's details are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. More on the ScienceLab company profile.

Find more in Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the slump cone?
The cone in the Slump Test Apparatus has internal dimensions of 200 mm diameter at the base, 100 mm diameter at the top and 300 mm height. Its foot pieces fix to clamps on the base plate so the cone stays put while it is filled.

What is included in the Slump Test Apparatus?
The Slump Test Apparatus includes the slump cone, a base plate with clamps and a lifting handle, and one steel rod of 16 mm diameter and 600 mm length, rounded at both ends and graduated in millimetres. Other tools such as scoops are ordered separately.

How is the slump value read?
With the Slump Test Apparatus, the slump is read after lifting the cone: the rod's millimetre graduations measure how far the concrete has dropped below the original 300 mm cone height, giving a direct reading without a separate ruler.

Who supplies the Slump Test Apparatus?

Compaction Factor Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/08) is a concrete workability test set used to compare how densely fresh concrete packs under its own weight with how it packs when fully compacted, in civil engineering laboratories and site labs. It is particularly suited to low-workability mixes, and the listed set includes trowels, a 15.2 cm hand scoop, a 1.6 cm x 61 cm rod rounded at one end and a balance. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM supplier of engineering educational equipments in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Compaction Factor Apparatus Used For?

Stiff concrete for pavements, precast units or heavily vibrated sections often shows almost no slump, so the slump cone cannot tell one mix from another. The compaction factor test solves this by letting the concrete fall under gravity into a container, weighing it, and then weighing the same container filled with fully compacted concrete. The ratio of the two weights is the compaction factor: the closer it is to one, the more workable the mix.

The hand scoop loads the concrete, the trowels strike off the surplus level with the container rim, the rod compacts the concrete for the full-compaction reading, and the balance provides both weights. Keep all surfaces clean and damp but free of standing water, and complete each test promptly so the concrete does not stiffen between steps.

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this compaction factor test apparatus. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, polytechnics, construction laboratories, dealers and importers rather than through a chain of traders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Compaction Factor Test Apparatus measure?
The Compaction Factor Test Apparatus measures the workability of fresh concrete as the ratio between the weight of concrete compacted under its own falling weight and the weight of the same volume fully compacted. Values closer to one indicate a more workable mix.

What is included with the Compaction Factor Test Apparatus?
The listed set for the Compaction Factor Test Apparatus includes trowels, a 15.2 cm hand scoop, a 1.6 cm x 61 cm rod rounded at one end, and a balance. Please confirm the complete scope of supply, including the main test assembly, in your quotation.

What is the rod in the set used for?
The rod in the Compaction Factor Test Apparatus, 1.6 cm in diameter and 61 cm long with one rounded end, is used to compact the concrete fully for the second weighing. It is made of steel or another suitable material.

When should I use compaction factor instead of a slump test?
The Compaction Factor Test Apparatus is the better choice for low-workability concrete that shows little or no slump, because it still separates mixes by how well they compact. For medium and high workability, the slump test is usually quicker.

Who manufactures the Compaction Factor Test Apparatus?
The Compaction Factor Test Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to institutions, laboratories, dealers and importers.

Concrete Permeability Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/09) is a pressure-cell test unit used to determine how deep water penetrates into concrete and mortar specimens under pressure, a key durability check in civil engineering and material testing laboratories. It is offered in 3-cell and 1-cell models for 100 mm and 150 mm cubes and for 100, 150 and 300 mm cylinders, and accepts specimens cast in the lab or cores cut from existing structures. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Concrete Permeability Apparatus Used For?

A mix is designed not only for strength but for durability in the conditions at the site, and resistance to water flow is one of the most important durability properties. In this test the specimen is sealed between two flanges with circular gaskets, water under pressure is applied to one face for the period your method specifies, and the specimen is then split to measure how far the water has travelled.

Three-cell models let a laboratory run a set of three specimens together, while the single-cell models take the larger 150 mm and 300 mm cylinders. Because cores from existing structures can be tested as well as laboratory-cast specimens, the apparatus serves both mix-design research and condition surveys. Seat each specimen squarely on its gasket so water can only enter through the test face.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Model: number of cells (1 or 3) and specimen type and size.
• Whether you need the version for 150 mm cubes as per DIN standard.
• Whether you will test laboratory-cast specimens, site cores or both.

Accelerated Curing Tank (Product Code: SLE/CE/10) is an insulated, temperature-controlled curing tank used for hot water or steam curing of concrete cubes in accelerated strength testing, in civil engineering and concrete quality-control laboratories. It holds 150 mm or 70.6 mm cube moulds on two removable racks, from 6/12 up to 36/72 moulds by model, and controls curing at 35 °C or 100 °C ± 2 °C for concrete or 27 °C ± 2 °C for grey cement. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Accelerated Curing Tank Used For?

Waiting weeks for normally cured cubes slows down mix approval and site decisions. Accelerated curing shortens that wait: freshly cast cubes, still in their moulds, are placed on the racks in hot water or steam at a controlled temperature, and after the 24 hour cycle from mixing they are tested so that the concrete's later strength can be judged much sooner.

The electronic programmer stores up to four cycles with their own heating gradients and curing times, and the thermal printer records each run for the lab file. With the refrigeration system the same tank can hold grey cement specimens at 27 °C. Keep the racks loosely loaded so water circulates around every mould, and drain and clean the stainless steel interior regularly.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Capacity: 6/12, 12/24, 24/48 or 36/72 moulds.
• Cube size you cure most: 150 mm or 70.6 mm.
• Curing duty: concrete at 35 °C or 100 °C, grey cement at 27 °C, or both.
• Your mains supply details and the delivery city or port.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this accelerated curing tank. The tank is fabricated and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and delivered factory-direct to engineering colleges, ready-mix and precast plants' laboratories, dealers and importers.

Vee Bee Consistometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/11) is a vibration-based workability tester used to measure the consistency of fresh concrete in Vee Bee degrees (seconds) in civil engineering and concrete technology laboratories. The set combines a 380 x 260 mm vibrating table with a sheet metal container, a slump cone, a swivel arm carrying a funnel and acrylic disc, and a 16 mm x 600 mm graduated tamping rod. It is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM supplier of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Vee Bee Consistometer Used For?

Very stiff concrete barely slumps, so the Vee Bee test measures how much vibration it takes to remould it. A slump cone is filled and rodded inside the container on the table, then lifted away; the slump can be read on the graduated rod. The swivel arm lowers the transparent acrylic disc onto the concrete, the table is switched on, and the operator times how long it takes for concrete to cover the whole underside of the disc.

That time in seconds is the Vee Bee value: a longer time means a stiffer, less workable mix. The test suits dry mixes for pavements, precast work and roller-compacted concrete. Stand the table on a level floor, make sure the container is fixed firmly before vibrating, and wipe the disc clean after each test so the contact line stays easy to see.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Vee Bee consistometer and supplies it factory-direct to engineering colleges, polytechnics, construction laboratories, dealers and importers. The table, container, swivel arm and cone are made and assembled at the company's own factory, licensed under Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414, at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India; the company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597.

Vibrating Table (Product Code: SLE/CE/13) is a motor-driven vibration table used to compact fresh concrete in test moulds in civil engineering laboratories and site labs. Its 500 x 500 mm top carries up to 140 kg, and a speed regulation handle sets the frequency anywhere from 2600 to 3600 vibrations per minute. The table is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific lab equipment manufacturer in Ambala, at its own factory in India.

Specifications

What Is the Vibrating Table Used For?

Trapped air weakens concrete specimens and makes test results scatter, so moulds are vibrated rather than only hand-rodded. Filled cube, cylinder or beam moulds are set on the table, held down by the cross arm on the central rod, and the motor is started; vibration continues until the concrete surface settles and air bubbles stop rising.

Stiffer mixes need more energy, which is why the frequency can be turned up towards 3600 vibrations per minute, while more fluid mixes are compacted at the lower end to avoid segregation. Keep the total load within 140 kg, check that the cross arm is tight before switching on, and scrape off spilt concrete before it hardens on the table top.

OEM Manufacturer

This vibrating table is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Frame, table top, drive cabinet and vibrator assembly are made and put together at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and each table is supplied factory-direct to colleges, construction and precast laboratories, dealers and importers.

J Ring Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/14) is a ring of vertical steel bars used with a slump cone to determine the passing ability, flow spread and flow time of self-compacting concrete in civil engineering and concrete technology laboratories. Its narrow-gap ring carries 16 smooth stainless steel bars of 18 mm diameter and is used on a 900 x 900 x 3 mm stainless steel base plate engraved with 200 mm and 500 mm circles. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM vocational training lab equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the J Ring Test Used For?

Self-compacting concrete has to flow through closely spaced reinforcement on its own, without blocking or leaving aggregate behind. The J-Ring recreates that situation: the slump cone stands on the engraved 200 mm circle of the damp base plate, surrounded by the ring of bars, and is held down by the weighted collar while it is filled. When the cone is lifted, the concrete spreads out through the bars.

The operator records the time for the concrete to reach the 500 mm circle, measures the final spread, and compares it with a slump flow test without the ring to judge passing ability. Coarse aggregate heaped behind the bars is a warning sign of blocking. Keep the base plate level and clean it straight after each test so the engraved circles stay readable.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Components required: J-Ring, slump cone, base plate and weighted collar (the J-Ring and slump cone are the minimum).
• Number of sets for your laboratory or class.
• Any other self-compacting concrete tests you plan, so a complete set can be quoted.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose trading name is ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this J-Ring apparatus. The ring, base plate, cone and collar are fabricated at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, ready-mix and research laboratories, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the J Ring Apparatus measure?
The J Ring Apparatus determines the passing ability, flow spread and flow time of self-compacting concrete as it flows from a lifted slump cone through a ring of vertical bars, showing whether the mix can pass reinforcement without blocking.

What bars does the J-Ring have?
The J Ring Apparatus uses a narrow-gap ring with 16 smooth bars of 18 mm diameter, made from stainless steel. The bars represent reinforcement that self-compacting concrete must flow through in a real structure.

What components make up the J Ring Apparatus?
The J Ring Apparatus comprises the narrow-gap J-Ring, a slump cone, a 900 x 900 x 3 mm stainless steel base plate and a steel weighted collar. The J-Ring and slump cone are the minimum apparatus, so tell us which components you need.

What is the weighted collar for?
The steel weighted collar in the J Ring Apparatus sits on the slump cone and stabilises it while the cone is filled, both in the J-Ring test and in a plain slump flow test, so the operator does not have to hold the cone down.

U Shape Box Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/15) is a two-section stainless steel box used to determine the filling and passing ability of self-compacting concrete (SCC) in civil engineering and concrete technology laboratories. About 20 litres of concrete placed in one section flows up through a gate fitted with three 12 mm rebars into the other, and the concrete heights in both sections are then measured. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific laboratory apparatus manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the U-Box Test Used For?

Self-compacting concrete has to fill every corner of the formwork and pass between bars under nothing but its own weight. The U-box checks both properties at once. The left-hand section is filled with about 20 litres of fresh concrete using the scoop and trowel, the gate is lifted, and the concrete flows through the rebars and rises into the right-hand section.

Once the flow stops, the concrete height in each section is measured; the closer the two heights, the better the mix fills and passes. The stopwatch lets the lab note how quickly the concrete moves. Dampen the inside of the box before each test, set the frame on firm, level ground, and wash the box out before the concrete sets.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this U-box. The stainless steel box, gate and frame are fabricated at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the apparatus is supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, ready-mix and precast laboratories, dealers and importers.

L-Box Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/16) is an L-shaped test box used to measure the passing ability of freshly mixed self-compacting concrete in civil engineering and concrete technology laboratories. Colleges, research labs and site quality teams use it to see whether an SCC mix can flow through a screen of 12 mm diameter bars set 41 ± 1 mm or 59 ± 1 mm apart. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the L-Box Used For?

The L-box test shows whether self-compacting concrete will pass between closely spaced reinforcement without blocking or separating. The fresh sample is placed in the vertical section; once released, it flows through the bar screen and along the horizontal section, and the concrete heights at the two ends of that horizontal run are compared to express passing ability.

The 41 mm gap imitates more congested reinforcement and is the more demanding setting, while the 59 mm gap suits less congested sections, so set the spacing your mix design or test method calls for. Stand the box on a firm, level surface and wash both hoppers straight after each test so hardened paste does not affect the next result. It is a core item of engineering educational equipment in India for SCC mix trials and final-year project work.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and the company is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this L-Box Apparatus. The box is made and assembled at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader. Engineering colleges, polytechnics, research laboratories, dealers and importers therefore deal directly with the maker for supply, repeat orders and replacement parts — just ask us.

Fill Box Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/17) is a transparent test container used to measure the filling ability of self-compacting concrete in concrete technology and civil engineering laboratories. It is intended for SCC with a maximum aggregate size of 20 mm, and its see-through walls let students and technicians watch how completely the mix fills the box. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) builds it as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Fill Box Used For?

Filling ability describes how well self-compacting concrete flows into and fills every part of a formwork space under its own weight, with no vibration. In the fill box test the mix is poured into the container and allowed to settle by itself; because the walls are transparent, the operator can see voids, blockages or uneven levels and compare one mix design with another.

Before testing, confirm the coarse aggregate is within the 20 mm limit, since larger stones make the result meaningless. At about 5 kg the box is easy to carry between the mixing area and the wash-down point, but clean it with water and soft cloths rather than scrapers so the flat, smooth surface stays clear. Labs choosing an engineering lab equipment manufacturer for SCC work often order the fill box together with the related apparatus listed below.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Fill Box Apparatus and produces it at its licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Because the box comes factory-direct, engineering colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers receive quotations and follow-up support from the people who make it. Questions about matching repeat orders or replacement parts can be sent straight to us. Company background is on the ScienceLab company profile.

V Funnel Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/18) is a stainless steel funnel on a supporting stand used to evaluate the flow time of freshly mixed self-compacting concrete in concrete testing laboratories. Mix designers and students use the flow time as a practical indicator of SCC flowability; the test is not suitable when the maximum aggregate size exceeds 22.4 mm. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the V Funnel Test Used For?

The funnel is filled with fresh self-compacting concrete while the discharge lid is closed. The lid is then opened and the time taken for the concrete to flow out is recorded: a short flow time points to a very fluid mix, while a long time suggests a more viscous concrete or one that is starting to block at the outlet.

Dampen the inside of the funnel before filling so a dry surface does not hold back the first part of the flow, and keep a stopwatch ready for the moment the lid opens. Some laboratories repeat the test after the concrete has rested in the funnel to look for signs of segregation. As test and measurement instruments in India go, the V funnel is one of the simplest ways to compare SCC mixes side by side.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this V Funnel Test Apparatus at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Volume Change Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/19) is a mould-and-comparator set used to measure the change in length of cement mortar and concrete specimens as they shrink or expand, in materials testing laboratories. It combines a specimen mould with base plate and four reference pins with a length comparator frame whose dial gauge reads 0.002 mm over 5 mm. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes the set as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Volume Change Apparatus Used For?

Volume change in hardened cement mortar and concrete is usually tracked as a change in specimen length. The reference pins are set into the ends of the specimen when it is cast, giving fixed gauge points; after demoulding, the specimen is placed in the comparator frame and its length is read on the dial gauge, then read again at intervals as it dries, cures or is exposed to test conditions.

Zero the comparator with the stainless reference bar before each set of readings. The insulated grip matters: holding the bar or specimen with bare hands warms it and adds error at the 0.002 mm level. Keep the comparator in the same room as the specimens. Buyers comparing lab instruments manufacturers in India will find the complete set saves matching a mould and comparator from different sources.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Volume Change Apparatus. The mould, pins, comparator frame and reference bar are supplied as one set from the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so the parts are matched from the start.

Length Comparator Digital (Product Code: SLE/CE/20) is a bench measuring frame used to record small changes in the length of mortar and concrete specimens in materials testing laboratories. It locates the specimen on 6.5 mm diameter balls or other reference points, reads length on a gauge graduated to 0.002 mm over 5 mm, and can take an electronic dial gauge when requested at the time of order. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) produces it as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Length Comparator Used For?

A length comparator measures a specimen between two fixed reference points, usually balls or studs cemented into the ends of a mortar or concrete bar. The specimen sits in the recessed seating on the base while the gauge on the adjustable cross plate bears on the upper reference point, so the same length can be re-measured accurately over days or weeks of drying, wetting or expansion testing.

Before each series, set the reading with the stainless steel standardisation bar and hold it only by its insulated grip so hand warmth does not change its length. Laboratories that prefer digital measuring instruments in India can ask for the electronic dial gauge instead of the standard dial, but it must be stated when ordering.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Base style: channelled or round.
• Gauge type: the standard dial gauge reading to 0.002 mm × 5 mm, or the optional electronic dial gauge.
• Reference points used in your specimens: 6.5 mm diameter balls or another type of cemented reference point.

Longitudinal Compressometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/21) is a ring-type strain-measuring frame used to record the axial shortening of concrete cylinders under compressive load in structural and materials testing laboratories. Students and testing engineers clamp its top and bottom rings onto the cylinder and read deformation on a 0.002 mm dial gauge, the data needed for a stress–strain curve. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Longitudinal Compressometer Used For?

The compressometer is fitted to a concrete cylinder before it goes into the compression testing machine. As load is applied in steps, the rings move closer together and the dial gauge shows the shortening between them; dividing that change by the gauge length gives strain, and plotting stress against strain gives the static modulus of elasticity of the concrete.

Tighten the ring screws evenly so the frame sits square on the cylinder, then set zero with the anvil screw before loading starts. Remove the instrument before the specimen is taken to failure to protect the gauge. Used with a lateral extensometer on the same cylinder, it also supports Poisson's ratio experiments — one reason civil engineering colleges often order both from the same scientific instruments manufacturer in India.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM of the Longitudinal Compressometer and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the original manufacturer means the rings, screws and gauge mounting come from one source, and requests for replacement parts or repeat units go straight to the maker — ask us. The company supplies universities, polytechnics, testing laboratories, dealers and importers directly. Visit the ScienceLab company profile for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Longitudinal Compressometer used for?
The Longitudinal Compressometer is used to measure the axial shortening of a concrete cylinder while it is loaded in compression. The readings give strain values from which the stress–strain curve and static modulus of elasticity of the concrete are worked out.

What dial gauge is fitted to the Longitudinal Compressometer?
The Longitudinal Compressometer carries a dial gauge of 0.002 mm × 5 mm mounted on its upper ring. The gauge tip rests on an anvil, so any movement between the rings shows directly on the dial.

How is the Longitudinal Compressometer set to zero?
The zero of the Longitudinal Compressometer dial gauge is set by adjusting the anvil screw on which the gauge tip rests. Set zero after clamping the frame to the cylinder and before any load is applied.

How is the Longitudinal Compressometer attached to the specimen?
The Longitudinal Compressometer has a bottom ring and a top ring fitted with tightening screws, which clamp the frame firmly over the concrete cylinder. Tighten the screws evenly so the rings sit square to the specimen axis.

Who manufactures the Longitudinal Compressometer?

Lateral Extensometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/22) is a hinged strain-measuring frame used to measure the lateral extension of a concrete specimen under compressive load in materials testing laboratories. Built from two movable frames pivoted at one end, it shows sideways movement on a 0.002 mm dial gauge so that students and engineers can pair lateral readings with axial strain. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures it as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Lateral Extensometer Used For?

When a concrete specimen is squeezed along its axis it also bulges slightly sideways. The two frames of the lateral extensometer are screwed to the specimen and hinge apart as it expands, and the dial gauge records that movement. Comparing lateral strain with longitudinal strain from a compressometer gives Poisson's ratio, a key input in structural analysis.

Fix the frames with the tightening screws, check they are not touching the machine platens, then zero the gauge with the anvil screw before loading. Take readings at the same load steps used for the compressometer so the two data sets line up. It is a practical test and measuring instrument in India for concrete technology and strength-of-materials practicals.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Lateral Extensometer, producing it at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Concrete Penetrometer Spring Type (Product Code: SLE/CE/23) is a spring-loaded penetration device used to find the rate of hardening of mortar sieved from fresh concrete in concrete testing laboratories and on site. Technicians press one of its six interchangeable needles 25 mm into the mortar and read the force from a sliding ring on the graduated stem. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes it as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its engineering lab equipment in India range.

Specifications

What Is the Concrete Penetrometer Used For?

Mortar is sieved out of a fresh concrete sample and placed in a container. At regular intervals a needle is pushed into the mortar to a depth of 25 mm — two of the 12.5 mm marks on the shank — and the sliding ring records the force reached. Dividing that force by the needle area gives penetration resistance, and plotting it against elapsed time shows how quickly the concrete is setting.

Start with the largest needle while the mortar is soft and change to smaller needles as it stiffens, so the force stays within the scale. Reset the sliding ring before each reading and wipe the needle clean. The results help plan finishing, formwork removal and the effect of admixtures in hot or cold weather.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The load scale you need: 1–100 daN, or a stem graduated 0–70 kg × 1 kg.
• The number of penetrometers for your laboratory or site teams.
• Any sieve needed to separate mortar from the concrete sample, and other setting-time equipment to quote together.

Buoyancy Balance (Product Code: SLE/CE/24) is a weighing system used to determine the density of concrete by weighing a specimen in air and then in water, in civil engineering and materials testing laboratories. Its rigid support frame carries a platform-mounted water tank that a mechanical lifting device raises to immerse the specimen hanging below the balance. The system is developed and made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Buoyancy Balance Used For?

The buoyancy method relies on Archimedes' principle: a specimen weighs less in water than in air by the weight of water it displaces. From the two weighings the laboratory calculates the specimen volume and then its density, without needing to measure an irregular shape with callipers.

Because the water tank is lifted up to the specimen rather than the specimen being lowered by hand, the sample stays steady and the reading settles quickly. Check that no air bubbles cling to the specimen and note the water temperature for each test. When the frame is not in use for density work, the balance serves as an everyday laboratory weighing device, a space-saving arrangement for labs sourcing test and measurement instruments in India.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, developed this buoyancy balance system and is its OEM. The frame, tank platform and lifting arrangement are built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the complete system is supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers. Ask us about replacement parts or matching units for a second test bay. Background is on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Buoyancy Balance used for?
The Buoyancy Balance is used to find the density of concrete. A specimen is weighed in air and then in water, and the difference between the two weights gives its volume, from which density is calculated without measuring the specimen shape.

How does the Buoyancy Balance immerse the specimen?
The Buoyancy Balance uses a mechanical lifting device to raise the platform-mounted water tank through the frame height. The specimen, suspended below the balance on its cradle, is immersed smoothly without being lowered or disturbed by hand.

Can the Buoyancy Balance be used for ordinary weighing?
Yes. The balance supplied with the Buoyancy Balance can also be used as a standard weighing device, giving the laboratory a versatile weighing system for routine work when density tests are not running.

Concrete cover meter (Product Code: SLE/CE/25) is a portable pulse-induction instrument used to locate reinforcing bars and measure the concrete cover over them during structural surveys and in civil engineering laboratories. Site engineers, testing labs and colleges use it for non-destructive checks; its standard search head identifies a 40 mm diameter bar up to about 95 mm deep. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Concrete Cover Meter Used For?

Concrete cover — the depth of concrete between the surface and the nearest reinforcing bar — protects steel from corrosion and fire, so engineers check it on new work and during condition surveys. The cover meter also maps where bars run before core drilling, chasing or fixing anchors, so reinforcement is not cut by mistake.

Scan slowly across the expected bar direction and mark the peaks on the surface. The listed ranges show why bar size matters: a thin 8 mm bar is detectable only to about 70 mm, while a 40 mm bar can be found to about 95 mm. The earphone helps on noisy sites and the PC cable moves readings to a computer for reporting. Among test and measurement instruments in India, it is a standard tool for durability audits.

DLC Vibrating Hammer For Concrete Mould (Product Code: SLE/CE/26) is a vibratory compaction hammer used to compact concrete samples in moulds, including dry lean concrete (DLC) specimens, in highway and civil engineering laboratories. Road-materials labs choose it because vibratory compaction is generally much faster than impact hammering; the unit comes with one tamping foot and one shank. The hammer is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the DLC Vibrating Hammer Used For?

Dry lean concrete is a stiff, low-water mix used as a sub-base under rigid pavements. It is too dry to consolidate properly by rodding, so laboratories compact DLC cubes or cylinders with a vibrating hammer fitted with a tamping foot, working in layers until each layer is dense and its surface closes.

Hold the hammer upright with the tamping foot flat on the concrete, move it steadily across the layer and avoid resting it against the mould walls. Check the foot and shank for wear before each batch, since a worn foot leaves uneven layers. At about 6 kg the hammer is manageable for repeated specimen making, a practical point for engineering lab equipment in India used by student groups.

Prism Mould Three Gang (Product Code: SLE/CE/29) is a three-compartment mould used to cast mortar prism specimens for strength testing of cement and mortar in civil engineering laboratories. It casts three 40.1 × 40 × 160 mm prisms at once, comes complete with base, and every part carries an identification number so it goes back together correctly. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes it as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Three Gang Prism Mould Used For?

Mortar prisms are the standard specimen for many cement strength tests: each prism is broken in flexure, and the two halves are then crushed in compression, so one three-gang mould yields a full set of results from a single mix. The mortar is placed in layers and compacted, often on a jolting apparatus, then struck off level and cured before demoulding.

Clean and lightly oil the inner faces before each casting, and reassemble the parts by their identification numbers so the compartments stay square and the prisms come out to size. Tighten the mould evenly on its base to stop mortar leaking at the joints. A well-kept mould is a long-term asset, which is why labs buy from an engineering lab equipment manufacturer that can supply matching repeat units.

K-Slump Tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/30) is a probe-type tester used to determine the workability and degree of compaction of fresh concrete in place, inside forms and test moulds, on site and in concrete laboratories. Engineers and students insert its 20 mm diameter calibrated hollow tube into the concrete and read the K-slump directly after 60 seconds. It comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), which makes it as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the K-Slump Tester Used For?

The tester is pushed into the fresh concrete up to the level of its disc. Over the next 60 seconds mortar flows into the hollow tube; the measuring rod is then lowered onto the concrete surface inside the tube and the K-slump is read straight off the scale. Using the correlation chart, the reading can be related to the conventional slump test.

Because it works in the formwork itself, the K-slump tester checks concrete where it has actually been placed, with no need to take a separate sample. Take readings at several points, clean the tube between insertions and test before the concrete begins to stiffen. Light at about 500 g, it is a handy addition to engineering educational equipments in India for site-practice sessions.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the K-Slump Tester, which is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Ball Penetration Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/31) is a Kelly ball workability tester used to measure how far a weighted, ball-bottomed cylinder sinks into fresh Portland cement concrete in civil engineering and concrete testing laboratories. Concrete technology classes and site laboratories use it as a simpler, much faster check than the slump test, because twice the Kelly ball reading approximately equals the slump. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Kelly Ball Apparatus Used For?

The Kelly ball test gives a quick measure of how easily fresh concrete will flow and compact. The strip frame is rested on a levelled surface of freshly placed concrete, the ball-bottomed cylinder is released so it sinks under its own weight, and the depth is read on the graduated handle against the frame. Because the reading is taken directly in the container or form, no cone has to be filled, rodded and lifted, which saves time when many batches must be checked.

In teaching laboratories the apparatus is often run side by side with a slump cone so students can see how the two workability results relate. For more reliable results, take readings at several points away from the container walls and average them, and wipe the ball clean between tests. It is a useful addition to lab equipment for technical institutes that teach concrete mix design.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Ball Penetration Apparatus. The apparatus is manufactured at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, polytechnics, construction laboratories, dealers and importers, so buyers deal with the maker rather than a trader. For tender and vendor registration, the company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier is 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Ball Penetration Apparatus measure?
The Ball Penetration Apparatus measures the workability of fresh Portland cement concrete. It records how deep a 15 kg ball-bottomed cylinder sinks into the concrete under its own weight, read on a millimetre-graduated handle against a strip frame that acts as the reference level.

How does a Kelly ball reading relate to the slump test?
With the Ball Penetration Apparatus, twice the Kelly ball reading approximately equals the slump of the same concrete. The test is considered simpler and much faster than the slump test, so it suits frequent checks, while a slump test can still be run when a direct slump value is required.

How precisely can penetration be read?
The handle of the Ball Penetration Apparatus is graduated in millimetres, and penetration can be recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm. The strip frame guides the handle so it stays upright and gives a fixed reference from which the depth is measured.

How heavy is the Kelly ball apparatus?
The cylinder with its ball-shaped bottom and handle weighs 15 kg in total. This known weight is what drives the ball into the concrete, so the Ball Penetration Apparatus should be lowered gently and released without pushing to keep readings comparable.

Who manufactures the Ball Penetration Apparatus?
The Ball Penetration Apparatus (SLE/CE/31) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part requests are handled directly by the manufacturer.

Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/32) is a stand-mounted test set used to assess the surface absorption characteristics of hardened concrete in civil engineering, durability research and materials testing laboratories. Engineering students and quality-control staff use it to measure the rate of water flow per unit area into a concrete surface held under a constant 200 mm head, read on a capillary tube mounted against a scale. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures it as an OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the ISAT Apparatus Used For?

The initial surface absorption test (ISAT) looks at the outer skin of concrete, the zone that protects reinforcement and first meets rain, groundwater and aggressive substances. Water from the reservoir is brought into contact with the test surface under the constant 200 mm head, and the movement of the water front along the capillary tube is timed against the scale. A lower flow rate points to a denser, less absorptive surface.

Laboratories use the apparatus to compare curing methods, mix designs and surface treatments on cast specimens or on existing elements. Test surfaces should be in a similar moisture condition before each run, and connections should be free of trapped air, so that results from different samples can be compared fairly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus measure?
The Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus measures the rate of flow of water per unit area into a concrete surface subjected to a constant 200 mm head of water. The result indicates how absorptive, and therefore how durable, the surface layer of the concrete is likely to be.

What parts make up the ISAT apparatus?
The Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus consists of a capillary tube mounted on a scale, a water reservoir and connecting tubes, all mounted on a stand. Its construction uses stainless steel and plastic, and it is designed to be easy to use in a teaching or testing laboratory.

What accuracy does the apparatus offer?
The Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus has a stated accuracy of ±1%. Consistent results also depend on good practice: keep the water head constant at 200 mm, remove air from the tubes, and condition the concrete surfaces in the same way before every test.

Why test surface absorption instead of only compressive strength?
Compressive strength says little about how easily water and dissolved salts enter concrete. The Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus focuses on the surface zone, where poor curing or a porous mix shows up first, so it adds durability information that strength tests alone cannot give.

Who manufactures the Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus?
The Initial Surface Absorption Test Apparatus (SLE/CE/32) is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, dealers and importers.

Can I get a calibration certificate with the ISAT apparatus?

Pocket Concrete Penetrometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/33) is a hand-held spring penetrometer used to measure the penetration resistance of concrete mortar and judge when it reaches initial set, in concrete laboratories and during site quality checks. Its direct-reading scale runs from 0 to 50 kg/cm², a marker ring holds the reading after release, and concrete is assumed initially set once resistance reaches 35 kg/cm². It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Pocket Penetrometer Used For?

As concrete stiffens, the mortar offers more and more resistance to a pointed needle. The pocket penetrometer turns that resistance into a number: the needle is pressed steadily into the mortar, the calibrated spring compresses, and the marker ring slides along the scale and stays at the maximum value when the instrument is withdrawn. Tracking readings over time shows when the concrete approaches initial set.

Site engineers and laboratory staff use this information to time finishing work, compare mixes with and without admixtures, and demonstrate setting behaviour to students. Press the needle at a steady rate, test fresh spots each time, reset the marker ring before every reading, and wipe the needle clean before returning it to its carrying case. Its small size makes it a convenient addition to the engineering lab equipment kit of a college or site laboratory.

OEM Manufacturer

This Pocket Concrete Penetrometer is an original ScienceLab product: Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is its OEM and manufactures it at the company's own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Institutions, contractors' laboratories, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, and repeat orders or spare parts can be requested from the manufacturer itself — just ask us. The ScienceLab profile gives more detail about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Pocket Concrete Penetrometer measure?
The Pocket Concrete Penetrometer measures the penetration resistance offered by concrete mortar to its needle. The value is shown on a direct-reading scale of 0 to 50 kg/cm² and is used to follow the stiffening of concrete and judge when initial set has been reached.

At what reading is concrete considered initially set?
With the Pocket Concrete Penetrometer, concrete is assumed to be initially set when the penetration resistance reaches 35 kg/cm². Taking readings at regular intervals shows how quickly the mix is approaching that point, which helps plan finishing and other time-sensitive work.

How does the marker ring work?
The marker ring on the Pocket Concrete Penetrometer is pushed along the scale as the spring compresses and holds its position when the instrument is released. The operator can therefore withdraw the needle and read the maximum resistance calmly, then slide the ring back before the next test.

How large is the pocket penetrometer?
The Pocket Concrete Penetrometer measures 178 × 19 mm and has a needle face area of 3/10 sq cm. The needle point is an integral part of the barrel that houses the calibrated spring, and the instrument is supplied complete in a carrying case.

Who manufactures the Pocket Concrete Penetrometer?

Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete (Product Code: SLE/CE/34) is a bleeding test apparatus used to determine the relative quantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample of freshly mixed concrete in civil engineering and concrete quality-control laboratories. The set is built around a stainless steel cylindrical container of approximately 14 litres with a stainless steel cover, together with a flat, rounded steel float. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures it as an OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Concrete Bleeding Test Apparatus Used For?

Bleeding is the rise of mixing water to the top of freshly placed concrete as the heavier solids settle. Some bleeding is normal, but too much leaves a weak, watery top layer, delays finishing and can reduce the bond between layers. This apparatus lets a laboratory measure how much water a given mix gives up, so that cement content, fine aggregate grading or admixtures can be adjusted.

In a typical run the container is filled with a representative sample of concrete, compacted, levelled and kept covered so that the collected water does not evaporate. The water that accumulates on the surface is drawn off at intervals and measured, and the total is expressed relative to the mixing water in the sample. Keep the container on a level, vibration-free bench during the test. It is a practical item for concrete technology courses and for lab equipment used by technical institutes.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this bleeding test apparatus and makes it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Colleges, research laboratories, ready-mix plants, dealers and importers can buy it straight from the manufacturer, with repeat orders handled by the same team. More information is available on the ScienceLab profile page.

These items help with sampling, compacting and checking the same concrete batch:

• Tamping Rod — for hand compaction of the concrete sample.
• Scoops — for taking and placing representative concrete samples.
• Slump Test Apparatus — to record the workability of the batch tested for bleeding.
• Vibrating Table — for mechanical compaction when the test method calls for it.

Explore the complete Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the bleeding test apparatus determine?
The Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete apparatus determines the relative quantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample of freshly mixed concrete. The result shows how prone a mix is to water rising to the surface, which affects finishing quality and the strength of the top layer.

What are the container dimensions?
The stainless steel cylindrical container of the Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete apparatus holds approximately 14 litres. Its internal diameter is 255 ± 5 mm and its inside height is 280 ± 5 mm, and it comes complete with a stainless steel cover.

What is included in the bleeding test set?
The Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete set (SLE/CE/34) includes the stainless steel cylindrical container, a stainless steel cover and a flat, rounded steel float with a diameter of 100 ± 10 mm. Ask us if you also need sampling or compaction tools on the same order.

Why is the container kept covered during the test?
The cover on the Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete apparatus reduces evaporation from the concrete surface while the test is running. Without it, part of the bleed water could be lost to the air and the measured quantity would understate how much water the mix actually releases.

Who manufactures this bleeding test apparatus?
The Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations and repeat orders.

What details should a quotation request include?

Tamping Rod (Product Code: SLE/CE/35) is a straight steel rod used to compact fresh concrete into cube moulds during specimen preparation in civil engineering, polytechnic and site quality-control laboratories. Technicians and students rod each layer of concrete by hand with it; the rod is 16 mm in diameter, 600 mm long and rounded at both ends. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own licensed factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Concrete Tamping Rod Used For?

Air trapped in fresh concrete lowers the strength of test cubes, so specimens must be compacted consistently. The tamping rod is pushed down through each layer placed in the cube mould, with strokes spread evenly over the whole cross-section, before the next layer is added. The rounded ends enter the concrete smoothly and are less likely to scratch the mould faces than a square-cut end.

Follow the number of layers and strokes set by the test method your laboratory works to, and keep the rod vertical while tamping. Clean off cement paste straight after use and dry the rod before storage to prevent rust. A set of rods is standard lab equipment for technical institutes and colleges that cast and crush concrete cubes as part of their practicals.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Tamping Rod. Manufacturing takes place at the company's licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414), from where rods are sent factory-direct to colleges, construction laboratories, dealers and importers.

View all Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Tamping Rod?
The Tamping Rod (SLE/CE/35) is a steel rod 16 mm in diameter and 600 mm long, with both ends rounded. These dimensions are stated for compacting fresh concrete into cube moulds, so check that they match the rod required by your own test method.

What is the Tamping Rod used for?
The Tamping Rod is used for compacting concrete into cube moulds. Each layer of concrete is rodded with evenly distributed strokes to remove entrapped air, giving specimens whose compressive strength results can be compared fairly from batch to batch.

Why are the ends of the rod rounded?
Rounded ends let the Tamping Rod pass into fresh concrete without tearing the surface of the layer below and reduce the risk of scoring the inside faces of the mould. They also make the rod safer and more comfortable to handle during repeated strokes.

How should the rod be cared for?
After each use, wash cement paste off the Tamping Rod before it hardens, dry the rod fully and store it flat or hanging so it stays straight. A light protective oil film can be applied if the laboratory is humid, to keep the steel from rusting.

Tamping Bar (Product Code: SLE/CE/36) is a square-section steel bar with a handle, used to compact fresh concrete into cube moulds by hand in concrete testing and civil engineering laboratories. The bar is 25 mm square and 380 mm long, giving a flat ramming face and a short, easily controlled length for bench work. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is its OEM manufacturer and makes it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Tamping Bar Used For?

Concrete cubes are only as reliable as their compaction. With the tamping bar, the operator holds the handle and rams the square end down onto each layer in the cube mould, working methodically across the surface so no area is missed. The flat square face consolidates the concrete and helps bring entrapped air to the top, while the handle gives a secure grip for a steady rhythm.

Hand tamping suits laboratories that cast a modest number of cubes per batch; where many specimens must be prepared, mechanical options such as an internal vibrator or vibrating table save effort. Use the number of layers and blows stated in your test standard, and clean and dry the bar after every session. It belongs in the basic concrete kit of any engineering lab equipment set-up in India or abroad.

OEM Manufacturer

The Tamping Bar is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab brand, which acts as its OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Production is carried out at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so polytechnics, universities, contractors' laboratories, dealers and importers buy directly from the maker instead of through a trading house. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

• Vibrating Table — table vibration for moulds as an alternative to hand tamping.

More products are listed under Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the Tamping Bar?
The Tamping Bar (SLE/CE/36) is made from steel bar with a 25 mm square cross-section and a length of 380 mm, and it is fitted with a handle. Confirm that this size matches the compacting tool named in the test method your laboratory follows.

What is the Tamping Bar used for?
The Tamping Bar is used for compacting fresh concrete into cube moulds by hand. Each layer is rammed with the square end of the bar to consolidate it and release entrapped air, so that the finished cubes give representative compressive strength results.

Should I choose a tamping bar or a vibrator?
A Tamping Bar is simple, needs no power and suits a moderate number of cubes. When a laboratory compacts large numbers of specimens every day, a poker vibrator or vibrating table may be quicker; many labs keep a tamping bar as well for small batches and teaching.

How do I keep the tamping bar in good condition?
Remove fresh concrete from the Tamping Bar immediately after use, rinse it, dry it thoroughly and store it in a dry place. Keeping the square face clean and free of hardened paste ensures it contacts the concrete evenly each time it is used.

Straight Edge (Product Code: SLE/CE/37) is a flat steel bar used to strike off excess material and level the top when moulding concrete cube and cylinder specimens in civil engineering and concrete testing laboratories. Measuring 1 × 12 inches (2.5 × 30.4 cm), it is also used when conducting slump cone and air meter tests on fresh concrete. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Concrete Straight Edge Used For?

Once a cube or cylinder mould has been filled and compacted, the surface must finish flush with the rim so the specimen has the correct height and a flat face. The straight edge is laid across the top of the mould and drawn over it with a gentle side-to-side sawing action, cutting away surplus concrete in one or two passes. The same bar is used to level off the measuring container in air meter tests and to tidy the top of the slump cone before it is lifted.

Keep the working edge clean and straight: store the bar flat, do not use it as a lever, and remove paste before it hardens. This short strike-off bar is meant for specimen moulds and small containers; for checking the regularity of road surfaces, a much longer straight edge is used instead. It is a low-cost but essential piece of engineering lab equipment for colleges and site laboratories.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates under the brand ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Straight Edge. The bar is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, material testing laboratories, dealers and importers, so repeat orders come from the same source every time. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

Related Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

The straight edge is used with these moulds and fresh-concrete test sets:

• Concrete Cube Mould — struck off level with the straight edge after compaction.
• Cylindrical Mould — cylinder specimens finished flush at the top.
• Slump Test Apparatus — the slump cone test the bar also supports.
• Tamping Rod — compacts the concrete before it is struck off.
• Straight Edge (3 meter) — the long straight edge used on road surfaces.

Find more in Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Straight Edge?
The Straight Edge (SLE/CE/37) is a flat steel bar measuring 1 × 12 inches, which is 2.5 × 30.4 cm. This length spans the top of common specimen moulds and small test containers, making it easy to strike off surplus concrete in a single controlled pass.

Which tests is the straight edge used in?
The Straight Edge is used to remove excess material when moulding concrete cube and cylinder specimens. It is also used when conducting slump cone and air meter tests, where the concrete surface must be levelled with the rim of the cone or measuring bowl.

How is it different from the 3 metre straight edge?
The 1 × 12 inch Straight Edge is a hand-held strike-off bar for moulds and test containers in the laboratory. The Straight Edge (3 meter) is a separate, much longer product intended for checking the surface regularity of roads, so the two are not interchangeable.

How do I look after the straight edge?
Clean fresh concrete off the Straight Edge immediately after use, dry it and store it flat so the working edge stays true. Avoid using it to pry or scrape hardened material, because a bent or nicked edge will leave an uneven specimen surface.

Who manufactures the Straight Edge?
The Straight Edge is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, bulk orders and repeat supplies are handled by the manufacturer without a middleman.

Can I order straight edges with a full set of moulds?
Yes. The Straight Edge can be quoted together with cube moulds, cylinder moulds, tamping rods and other concrete testing equipment for colleges and laboratories in India and international markets. List every item and quantity in your enquiry to receive one combined quotation.

Poker Vibrator (Product Code: SLE/CE/38) is an internal (immersion) vibrator used to compact concrete specimens from the inside in concrete testing, civil engineering and site laboratories. It is a practical alternative to a traditional tamping bar, especially when large numbers of specimens must be compacted, and it is offered in four versions that differ in flexible shaft length and tip diameter. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is a Poker Vibrator Used For?

A poker vibrator compacts concrete by vibrating it from within. The vibrating tip at the end of the flexible shaft is lowered vertically into the concrete in the mould; the vibration makes the mix behave like a fluid, so entrapped air rises and escapes and the particles settle into a dense mass. Compaction is usually judged complete when large bubbles stop appearing and the surface takes on a smooth, glossy look.

Withdraw the tip slowly so the hole it leaves closes behind it, keep it clear of the mould walls and base, and avoid over-vibrating, which can cause segregation. Matching the tip diameter to the size of the moulds and the shaft length to your working position is the main selection decision. For a busy casting bay, it is an efficient addition to engineering lab equipment used for cubes, beams and cylinders.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Which of the four available versions you need, by flexible shaft length and tip diameter.
• The types and sizes of moulds you compact, so a suitable tip diameter can be proposed.
• How many specimens you cast per day, which shows whether one or more vibrators are needed.
• Any moulds or hand-compaction tools you want quoted on the same enquiry.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, which supplies this Poker Vibrator to engineering colleges, research centres, construction laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Because the company handles a wide range of concrete and cement testing equipment, buyers can source vibrators, moulds and tamping tools through one supplier and one quotation. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

These items are used alongside, or instead of, a poker vibrator when preparing specimens:

• Tamping Bar — the manual compaction tool a poker vibrator often replaces.
• Vibrating Table — external vibration for moulds placed on the table top.
• Concrete Cube Mould — cube specimens compacted with the vibrator.
• Beam Mould — larger flexure specimens where internal vibration helps.
• DLC Vibrating Hammer For Concrete Mould — vibratory compaction of concrete samples in a mould.

See all Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Poker Vibrator used for in a concrete lab?
The Poker Vibrator is used for the internal compaction of concrete specimens. Its vibrating tip is immersed in the fresh concrete inside the mould, driving out entrapped air so that cubes, cylinders or beams are dense and give reliable strength results.

How many versions of the Poker Vibrator are available?
The Poker Vibrator (SLE/CE/38) is available as four products, which differ in flexible shaft length and tip diameter. Tell us the moulds you use and we will confirm the details of each option through the contact page.

Is a poker vibrator better than a tamping bar?
A Poker Vibrator is a good alternative to the traditional tamping bar, particularly when large numbers of specimens need compacting, because it consolidates concrete faster and with less manual effort. For occasional small batches or teaching demonstrations, hand tamping can still be adequate.

How do I avoid over-vibrating concrete?
When using a Poker Vibrator, stop once large air bubbles no longer rise and the surface looks smooth and glossy, then withdraw the tip slowly. Vibrating far beyond this point can drive coarse aggregate down and bring excess paste and water to the top, causing segregation.

Who supplies the Poker Vibrator?
The Poker Vibrator is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources it for colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers and can combine it with other concrete test equipment on a single quotation.

What should I include when requesting a quotation?

Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper (Product Code: SLE/CE/39) is a conical metal mould with a matching tamper, used to judge when fine aggregate reaches the saturated surface-dry condition for specific gravity and water absorption tests in civil engineering laboratories. The cone is 1.5 inch in diameter at the top, 3.5 inch at the base and 2 7/8 inch high, and the metal tamper weighs 12 ounces. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes the set as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Sand Absorption Cone Used For?

Specific gravity and absorption results for sand depend on testing it in the saturated surface-dry (SSD) state, when the particle pores are full of water but the surfaces carry no free film. To find that point, a soaked sample is spread out and dried gradually with gentle warm air while being stirred. At intervals, the cone is set large end down on a smooth, non-absorbent surface, filled loosely with sand, lightly tamped with the flat-faced tamper and lifted straight up.

If the moulded sand keeps the shape of the cone, surface moisture is still holding it together; when it slumps slightly on removal, the sample has reached SSD and can be weighed for the next step of the test. Use the tamping and drop procedure given in your laboratory's test standard, and keep the cone clean and dry between trials. It is a small but important item of lab equipment for technical institutes teaching aggregate testing.

OEM Manufacturer

This cone and tamper set is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and manufactures it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) whose major activity is manufacturing, and it ships export orders under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT), supplying colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers factory-direct.

Browse the whole Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper used for?
The Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper is used to identify the saturated surface-dry condition of fine aggregate. Sand is moulded in the cone and tamped, and its behaviour when the cone is lifted shows whether free surface moisture remains before specific gravity and absorption are measured.

What are the cone dimensions?
The conical metal mould of the Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper (SLE/CE/39) measures 1.5 inch in diameter at the top, 3.5 inch in diameter at the base and 2 7/8 inch in height. Check these dimensions against the test standard your laboratory follows before ordering.

What are the tamper specifications?
The tamper supplied with the Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper is a metal tamping rod weighing 12 ounces. It has a flat, circular tamping face 1 inch in diameter, which lets it compact the sand lightly and evenly without driving it hard into the cone.

How do I know the sand has reached SSD?
Using the Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper, fill and tamp the cone, then lift it vertically. If the sand holds its conical shape, surface water is still present; when it slumps slightly for the first time as it dries, the sample is taken to be at the saturated surface-dry condition.

Who manufactures the Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper?
The Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Laboratories and dealers buy it directly from the manufacturer, which also handles repeat orders.

Can I get an inspection or calibration document?

Rapid Chloride Permeability Tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/40) is a four-port RCPT test system used to assess the resistance of concrete to chloride-ion penetration, an indicator of its permeability, in concrete durability, research and civil engineering laboratories. It comes as a complete set with a 230–250 V AC test unit, 300 mm vacuum desiccator, vacuum pump with gauge, moisture trap, temperature probe, four pairs of plexiglass chambers and a tools kit. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the RCPT Apparatus Used For?

Chlorides from seawater, de-icing salts or contaminated materials can travel through concrete and trigger corrosion of the steel reinforcement. How fast they move depends on the pore structure, which in turn depends on the mix design, degree of hydration, curing conditions, use of supplementary cementitious materials and construction practices. Wherever there is a potential risk of chloride-induced corrosion, concrete should be evaluated for chloride permeability, and the RCPT gives a rapid, comparative measure.

In outline, concrete specimens are vacuum-saturated using the desiccator, pump and moisture trap, then mounted between a pair of plexiglass chambers; the test unit applies an electrical potential and records the charge passed, while the temperature probe monitors the cell. With four ports, up to four specimens can be run together. Results are commonly rated as shown below; this makes the set a valuable part of any laboratory instruments line-up for durability studies.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Confirm your mains supply matches the 230–250 V AC rating of the test unit.
• State how many specimens you test per run; the set has 4 ports and 4 pairs of plexiglass chambers.
• Ask about extra plexiglass chambers or other spares if you plan heavy use.
• List specimen preparation equipment, such as moulds or core drilling, to be quoted with the tester.

Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type (Product Code: SLE/CE/41) is a rebound-type test hammer used to assess the compressive strength characteristics of hardened concrete non-destructively in structural investigation, site quality-control and civil engineering teaching laboratories. Engineers use it to control the uniformity of concrete and detect weak spots in members, provided the test object is at least 100 mm thick. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is a Schmidt Hammer Used For?

The quality of concrete is judged mainly by its compressive strength, which directly affects the load-bearing capacity and durability of a structure. A rebound hammer gives a quick, non-destructive indication: a spring-driven mass strikes a plunger held against the concrete, and the distance it rebounds reflects the hardness of the surface layer. Because nothing is cut or broken, the same member can be tested at many points and re-tested later.

Typical uses include comparing concrete quality across columns, slabs and walls, locating weak or poorly compacted zones, and deciding where cores should be taken. For meaningful results, test on smooth, clean surfaces, take a set of readings at each location, avoid areas directly over reinforcement, and relate rebound values to crushing tests on the same concrete. It is a core item among test and measurement instruments for structural audits in India and abroad.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, supplies this N-type Schmidt concrete test hammer to engineering colleges, consultants, structural audit teams, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is offered alongside other non-destructive and destructive concrete testing equipment, so a complete assessment kit can be sourced through one supplier. The company profile has more information.

Rebound testing is most useful when combined with these methods and tools:

• Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester — checks internal uniformity and defects to complement surface rebound values.
• Concrete cover meter — locates reinforcement so readings can be taken away from bars.
• Concrete Test Hammer — another concrete test hammer listed in the range.
• Automatic digital compression testing machine — crushes cubes or cores to correlate rebound numbers with strength.

See the full Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type measure?
The Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type measures the compressive strength characteristics of hardened concrete non-destructively. It is used to control uniform concrete quality and detect weak spots in structures, giving a quick indication without cutting or breaking the member.

What is the minimum thickness of concrete that can be tested?
With the Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type, the test object should have a minimum thickness of 100 mm. Thinner or small elements may move or vibrate under the impact, which can distort the reading, so they need a different approach.

Does a rebound hammer replace cube or core testing?
No. The Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type gives a non-destructive estimate based on surface hardness. For reliable strength values, rebound readings should be correlated with compression tests on cubes or cores from the same concrete, then used to survey larger areas quickly.

How should readings be taken?
Hold the Concrete Test Hammer Schmidt Hammer N-Type perpendicular to a smooth, clean, dry surface and take several impacts at each test location, spaced apart and clear of edges and reinforcement. Record the orientation of the hammer, because the direction of impact also influences the rebound value.

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/42) is a non-destructive testing instrument used to measure the transit time of ultrasonic waves through concrete, so that its uniformity, internal defects and strength can be evaluated in structural testing and civil engineering laboratories. It works with 52 kHz transducers designed to send and receive signals effectively in highly attenuative materials such as concrete, wood, stone and plastic. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a UPV Tester Used For?

The velocity of an ultrasonic wave in concrete depends on the material's elastic properties and strength. The tester applies a high-voltage pulse to the transmitting transducer, the wave travels through the concrete to the receiving transducer, and the instrument measures the transit time accurately. Dividing the path length by that time gives the pulse velocity: sound, dense concrete returns short transit times, while cracks, voids or weak zones slow the wave down.

Engineers use it to map uniformity across a structure, locate cavities and cracks, assess fire or frost damage and delamination, and track deterioration over time. Couple the transducers to clean, smooth surfaces with a suitable couplant, measure the path length carefully, and compare readings taken the same way. Paired with a rebound hammer, it forms a practical set of test and measurement instruments for condition surveys in India and international markets.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester from Ambala to universities, structural consultants, testing laboratories, dealers and importers. Buyers building a non-destructive testing kit can source it together with rebound hammers, cover meters and other concrete equipment, and technical questions before purchase can be sent to our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester measure?
The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester measures the transit time of an ultrasonic wave passing through concrete between a transmitting and a receiving transducer. From this, pulse velocity is calculated to evaluate uniformity, internal defects and the elastic properties and strength of the material non-destructively.

What transducer frequency does the tester use?
The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester uses 52 kHz concrete transducers. They are designed to send and receive ultrasonic signals effectively in highly attenuative materials, which makes them suitable for concrete as well as wood, stone and plastic.

Which defects can the UPV tester help detect?
The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester helps investigate uniformity, cavities, cracks, fire or frost damage, delamination and general deterioration in concrete. Zones where the wave slows down, or where the transit time rises sharply, point to areas that deserve closer inspection or coring.

How does pulse velocity relate to concrete strength?
For the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester, higher elastic property or strength means a shorter transit time and higher velocity, while weaker or damaged concrete gives a lower velocity. Converting velocity into strength values requires correlation with tests on the same concrete.

Who supplies the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester?
The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies it to colleges, laboratories, consultants, dealers and importers, and can quote it alongside other non-destructive testing equipment.

Crack Measuring Microscope (Product Code: SLE/CE/43) is an optical instrument used to measure the width of cracks in concrete members, masonry walls and other structures during condition surveys and civil engineering laboratory work. An adjustable lamp unit lights the crack, a knob brings the image into focus, and the eyepiece scale turns through 360° to line up with the crack direction. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes it as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is a Crack Width Microscope Used For?

Crack width is one of the first things an engineer records when assessing a building, bridge or retaining wall, because it helps separate harmless shrinkage cracking from damage that needs repair. The microscope is placed on the surface over the crack, the lamp is adjusted to light the edges clearly, and the image is focused with the knob. The eyepiece scale is then rotated until its graduations sit square across the crack, and the width is read directly.

Marking each measured point and repeating readings at intervals shows whether cracks are stable or still opening, which guides repair decisions. The same instrument lets students see crack patterns from load tests on beams and slabs in the laboratory. Keep the optics clean, store the unit in a dry place, and check the lamp before site visits. It is a practical choice for engineering lab equipment used in structural and materials courses.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) that produces this Crack Measuring Microscope at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Colleges, survey consultants, testing laboratories, dealers and importers are supplied factory-direct, and follow-up orders or parts requests go straight to the maker — ask us. Buyers completing vendor forms can use GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Company background is on the profile page.

Browse all Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Crack Measuring Microscope used for?
The Crack Measuring Microscope is used to measure crack widths in concrete members, masonry walls and other structures. Engineers and students use it during condition surveys, repair assessments and laboratory load tests to record how wide cracks are and whether they change over time.

How is the scale lined up with a crack?
The eyepiece scale of the Crack Measuring Microscope can be turned through 360°, so it can be aligned with the direction of the crack or pitch under examination. This allows the width to be read squarely across the crack, whatever its orientation on the surface.

Does the microscope have its own lighting?
Yes. The Crack Measuring Microscope operates with an adjustable lamp unit that illuminates the crack, which helps when working in shaded areas, inside buildings or under bridges. The image is then sharpened by turning the focusing knob before the reading is taken.

Cementometer Moisture Meter (Product Code: SLE/CE/44) is a microwave moisture meter used to measure the moisture content of wet concrete by sensing its complex dielectric constant through a prong probe, in concrete laboratories and quality-control work. Two units cover the water/cement ratios found in wet concrete: the two-prong Type R for approximately 0.35 to 0.65, and a five-prong version for low ratios of approximately 0.25 to 0.5. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Cementometer Used For?

The water content of fresh concrete governs its strength and durability, yet it can drift from the design through wet aggregates or added water at the mixer. Because the dielectric constant of water is four to eight times greater than that of most aggregates and cements, changes in water content directly affect the sensor output. The Cementometer converts that output with its microprocessor and shows the moisture reading at once, so a batch can be checked before it is placed.

Insert the probe fully into a representative sample and take five to ten readings to obtain a valid average. For the highest accuracy, program the unit for the materials you actually use; the calibration routine creates these user programs on the meter itself. Stored readings, complete with time and date, can later be downloaded over USB for records. It is a useful moisture meter for any concrete laboratory looking to tighten mix control.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Which unit you need: the two-prong Type R (approx. 0.35 to 0.65 w/c), the five-prong low-ratio unit (approx. 0.25 to 0.5 w/c), or both.
• The cement types in your mixes, since the units come calibrated for standard Type I, II and III cements.
• Whether you will download readings to a PC over USB, so the software and USB connection can be confirmed on the quotation.
• The quantity and the delivery location.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, supplies the Cementometer Moisture Meter to concrete laboratories, ready-mix producers, research institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets. As it is a branded instrument, our team sources it for you and can quote it together with fresh-concrete test sets and moulds from the ScienceLab range. See the ScienceLab profile to learn more about the company.

Related Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

Moisture readings are most meaningful when read alongside other fresh-concrete checks:

• Slump Test Apparatus — confirms workability of the batch whose water content was measured.
• Bleeding Of Freshly Mixed Concrete — shows how much mixing water rises out of the same concrete.
• K-Slump Tester — in-place workability reading in moulds and forms.
• Concrete Cube Mould — for casting cubes to link water content with strength.

Visit the Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cementometer Moisture Meter measure?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter measures the moisture content of wet concrete using a microwave sensor that reads the complex dielectric constant of the material between its prongs. An integrated microprocessor converts this and displays the moisture content directly, relating it to the water/cement ratio of the mix.

Which Cementometer unit do I need?
Two Cementometer Moisture Meter units are available. The Type R, with a two-prong probe, handles normal water/cement ratios of approximately 0.35 to 0.65, while the five-prong unit handles low ratios of approximately 0.25 to 0.5. Choose according to the mixes your laboratory tests.

Which cements is the meter calibrated for?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter units come calibrated for standard Type I, II and III cements. For the highest accuracy, the user should program the unit for the actual materials; up to ten different mix designs can be stored using the meter's own calibration process.

How many readings should be taken per sample?
With the Cementometer Moisture Meter, an average of five to ten readings is normally taken to ensure a valid result. Taking readings at different points in the sample evens out local variations caused by coarse aggregate particles near the prongs.

Can the Cementometer store and transfer data?
Yes. The Cementometer Moisture Meter can store over 150 readings, each with the time and date for future reference. Data can be recalled through a USB interface to a personal computer running the Cementometer software, which simplifies record keeping for quality-control files.

Who supplies the Cementometer Moisture Meter?
The Cementometer Moisture Meter is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources it for laboratories, producers, dealers and importers and can combine it with other concrete testing equipment on one quotation.

Test Sieves (Product Code: SLE/CE/45) are woven-wire or perforated-metal sieve pans used for sifting, filtration and particle-size grading of soils, sand, aggregates and powders in civil engineering and materials testing laboratories. They are made in sizes of 76, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 mm, among others, with frame and mesh generally in stainless steel or brass. They are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Are Test Sieves Used For?

Grading, the distribution of particle sizes, controls how soils compact and how aggregates pack in concrete and bituminous mixes. In a sieve analysis, a stack of sieves is arranged with the coarsest opening at the top, the dried sample is poured in and shaken by hand or on a sieve shaker, and the material retained on each sieve is weighed. The percentages passing each opening are then plotted as a grading curve.

Beyond grading, the sieves are used to sift fines out of a sample, to separate mortar or cement from coarser particles, and for simple filtration tasks. Avoid overloading any single sieve, brush the mesh gently from the underside to clear trapped particles, and dry the sieves fully before stacking them away. They are basic lab equipment for colleges, polytechnics and site laboratories in India and international markets.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The sieve size required (76, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 or 400 mm, or another size).
• Frame and mesh material: stainless steel or brass.
• Woven wire mesh or perforated metal, with the aperture openings your test method calls for.
• The number of sieves per set and the number of sets for your laboratory.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sells under the name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of these Test Sieves and makes them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Engineering colleges, soil and aggregate laboratories, dealers and importers buy them factory-direct, and replacement sieves for an existing stack can be ordered from the same manufacturer — ask us.

Jolting Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/46) is a motor-driven compaction machine used to compact cement mortar test prisms in a three-compartment mould in cement and civil engineering laboratories. Materials-testing labs choose it because a cam turning at 60 rev/min lifts and drops the table, and a micro-switch stroke counter stops the machine automatically after 60 jolts. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Jolting Apparatus Used For?

Freshly mixed cement mortar is placed in the three-compartment 40 × 40 × 160 mm mould with the hopper fitted on top, and the jolting apparatus compacts it by repeatedly lifting the table and letting it fall onto the stop. Because the cam speed and jolt count are fixed by the machine, every set of prisms receives the same compaction effort, which removes the operator-to-operator variation of hand tamping. The compacted prisms are then cured and tested for flexural and compressive strength.

It is a core item of lab equipment for technical institutes that teach cement and concrete technology, as well as for plant and project quality-control labs. Before each session, clamp the mould and hopper firmly, keep the lug and the rounded stop free of mortar so each fall ends cleanly, and confirm that the counter halts the table at 60 jolts. Use the de-moulding apparatus to release the prisms without chipping their edges.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of jolting units, and whether the optional digital preset counter is required
• Number of additional three-compartment steel moulds (40 × 40 × 160 mm) for casting several batches in a day
• Whether the apparatus for de-moulding the specimen should be included in the quotation
• Confirmation that a 230 V single-phase AC supply is available where the machine will stand

Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated) (Product Code: SLE/CE/47) is a double-lever testing machine used to measure the tensile strength of cement mortar briquettes in cement and building-materials laboratories. Engineering colleges and testing labs use it for its 900 kg capacity and a micro-switch that stops the machine the instant the briquette fails. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Cement Briquette Tensile Strength Tester Used For?

The tester measures direct tensile strength on mortar briquettes cast in the brass briquette mould. After the briquette is clamped in the jaws and the machine is switched on, the sliding weight moves steadily along the top lever, and the double lever multiplies its effect so that tension on the specimen rises smoothly until it breaks. The lever arrangement therefore lets a moving weight build up loads to the full 900 kg capacity.

In cement technology practicals, students cast briquettes, cure them for different periods and compare the failure loads to see how strength develops with age. As engineering lab equipment in India for diploma and degree courses, it is simple to operate: reset the sliding weight to zero with its marker before each test, keep the jaws free of mortar crumbs so the briquette sits centrally, and read the load as soon as the micro-switch stops the machine.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of testers required for the laboratory
• Number of additional brass briquette moulds and base plates for casting several specimens per mix
• Confirmation that a 230 V, 50 Hz single-phase AC supply is available at the bench

OEM Manufacturer

The Tensile Strength Tester is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the original equipment manufacturer of this machine. It is manufactured and assembled at the company’s licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and dispatched factory-direct to colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers.

Cement samplers (Product Code: SLE/CE/48) are slotted brass sampling tubes used to draw cement from bulk storage or bulk shipments for laboratory testing. Site, plant and college laboratories use them because the inner tube rotates to close the slots, trapping about 3 litres of cement taken from within the stock rather than just the surface. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Cement Sampler Used For?

Test results are only as reliable as the sample, and cement held in silos, bins or a bulk consignment can vary from one point to another. The sampler is pushed into the cement with its slots open so material flows into the inner tube along its length; the inner tube is then turned to close the slots, and the sampler is withdrawn with the cement held inside. Several draws from different points are usually combined into one composite sample.

That composite sample then goes to tests such as consistency, setting time, soundness and fineness. The brass tubes are easy to wipe clean between lots, which helps keep samples from different consignments separate, and at about 1 kg the sampler is easy to carry between storage points. It also belongs in technical educational equipment sets for cement technology courses.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, manufactures these brass cement samplers as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Buying from the producer means sampling tools for a new plant laboratory, a construction project or an engineering department are quoted and dispatched factory-direct, without a trading intermediary.

Repeat orders for additional samplers are handled by the manufacturer itself. Company background is available on the ScienceLab profile.

Le Chatelier moulds (Product Code: SLE/CE/49) are spring-tensioned split-cylinder moulds used to measure the expansion (soundness) of cement in cement testing laboratories. Each mould is 30 mm in internal diameter and 30 mm high, with two indicator stems whose points are 165 mm from the cylinder’s centre line, so a slight opening of the split shows up clearly at the pointers. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, makes them at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Le Chatelier Mould Used For?

Unsound cement contains constituents that keep expanding after the cement has set, which can crack hardened mortar and concrete; the Le Chatelier test detects this. The mould is set on a glass plate, filled with cement paste, covered with a second plate and stored, then heated in water, and the increase in distance between the indicator points shows how far the cement has expanded. The long stems magnify the tiny movement of the split so it can be read with an ordinary scale.

Because two or three moulds are needed for each test, laboratories normally keep moulds in sets. Before use, check that the split edges close evenly and the stems are straight, and lightly oil the inside so the hardened paste releases cleanly. The moulds are standard technical educational equipment for building-materials practicals in civil engineering diploma and degree courses.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of moulds: two or three are needed for each test, multiplied by the number of cement samples tested at once
• Number of 50 mm square glass plates, since each mould sits between a lower and an upper plate
• Whether a water bath or curing cabinet for the storage and heating stages should be quoted at the same time

OEM Manufacturer

The Le Chatelier moulds are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which acts as the OEM and produces them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Cement plants, engineering colleges, dealers and importers therefore source them direct from the maker.

Replacement moulds and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer, so a laboratory can match additional moulds to the ones already in use — ask us when you enquire. Read more about the company on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Le Chatelier moulds are needed for one test?
Two or three Le Chatelier moulds are required for each cement expansion test, and the readings are averaged. Laboratories testing several cement lots at the same time should multiply that number when ordering Le Chatelier moulds from ScienceLab.

What are the dimensions of the Le Chatelier mould?
The Le Chatelier mould is a spring-tensioned split cylinder 30 mm in internal diameter and 30 mm high. Its two indicator stems measure 165 mm from their points to the centre line of the cylinder, which magnifies any expansion of the cement paste.

What is included in the Le Chatelier mould kit?

Vicat Needle Apparatus With Dashpot (Product Code: SLE/CE/50) is a frame-mounted penetration instrument used to determine the standard consistency and the initial and final setting times of cement paste in construction-materials laboratories. Its distinguishing feature is a dashpot that lowers the needles gently onto the paste, and it comes with an initial needle, final needle and consistency plunger. It is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Vicat Needle Apparatus Used For?

Three linked cement tests use the same frame. The consistency plunger first finds the water content that gives paste of standard consistency; the initial setting needle is then lowered at intervals until the paste starts to resist penetration, and the final setting needle shows when the paste has hardened so that it barely marks the surface. These results set the water content for mortar and soundness specimens and tell site engineers how long cement stays workable.

The dashpot damps the fall so each needle meets the paste without impact, making readings more repeatable between students and operators. It is a core piece of lab equipment for technical institutes teaching building materials. Clean the needle after every penetration, keep the moving rod free-running, and position the mould so that each test point is clear of earlier marks and of the mould edge.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of apparatus sets required for your class or testing bench
• Spare needles: initial setting needle, final setting needle or consistency plunger
• Extra brass Vicat moulds, and whether glass or 5 in × 5 in mild steel base plates are preferred

Bulk density of cement (Product Code: SLE/CE/51) is a bulk density apparatus used to determine the loose bulk density, or unit weight, of cement in materials-testing laboratories across India and abroad. The set combines a sieve funnel on a tripod with a 1 litre unit weight measure and a straightedge, so cement falls into the measure in a consistent, uncompacted state. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, produces the set at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Cement Bulk Density Apparatus Used For?

Bulk density tells a laboratory or batching plant how much a given volume of loose cement weighs, which matters when cement is proportioned by volume, when storage bins are sized and when consignments are checked. Cement is passed through the sieve funnel, which breaks up lumps and lets it fall freely into the 1 litre measure standing beneath; the heap is struck off level with the straightedge and the filled measure is weighed. With a measure of 1 litre capacity, the net mass gives bulk density directly.

Avoid tapping or jolting the measure while it fills, since vibration packs the cement and raises the result, and weigh the empty measure first. Repeating the determination two or three times shows whether readings agree. At 350 × 350 × 520 mm and about 3 kg, it is convenient lab equipment for technical institutes where bench space is shared between several experiments.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that manufactures this cement bulk density set at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Laboratories, contractors, dealers and importers deal with the maker itself for quotations and repeat supply.

The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) with manufacturing as its major activity, and export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT. More information is on the ScienceLab company profile.

The full Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category lists further cement, concrete and aggregate apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bulk density of cement apparatus consist of?
The Bulk density of cement apparatus (SLE/CE/51) consists of a sieve funnel, a unit weight measure of 1 litre capacity, a tripod and a straightedge. The straightedge strikes off excess cement level with the measure before it is weighed.

What is the capacity of the measure in the Bulk density of cement set?
The unit weight measure in the Bulk density of cement set has a capacity of 1 litre, so the net mass of cement in kilograms equals its bulk density in kilograms per litre, which multiplies by 1000 to give kg/m³.

How big is the Bulk density of cement apparatus?

Plunger penetration apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/52) is a drop-plunger instrument used to determine the consistency of masonry cement and building limes in construction-materials laboratories. A 90 g plunger assembly falls 100 mm into mortar held in an 80 mm diameter test cup, and the penetration depth shows how stiff or fluid the mix is. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Plunger Penetration Apparatus Used For?

Masonry cement and lime mortars must be brought to a standard workability before their other properties are tested, and this apparatus puts a number on that workability. Fresh mortar is filled into the test cup in layers with the tamper and levelled, the cup is placed in the recess of the steel base, and the plunger is released from 100 mm above the surface. The water content is adjusted until the penetration falls within the range your test procedure specifies.

Students quickly see how a small change in water alters penetration, which makes it useful technical educational equipment for building-materials practicals. Keep the plunger shaft clean and dry so it falls freely, release it without pushing, and wipe the cup between mixes so old mortar does not change the next reading.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of apparatus units required
• Additional test cups (80 mm diameter × 70 mm deep) for testing several mixes in sequence
• Whether a spare tamper should be included

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and manufactures the Plunger penetration apparatus as the OEM at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Buyers therefore order from the maker itself, and consignments are dispatched factory-direct to colleges, testing labs, dealers and importers.

Flow tables for mortar and building lime (Product Code: SLE/CE/53) are drop tables used to determine the consistency of fresh mortars and building lime by how far a moulded sample spreads after a set number of drops. They come in EN and ASTM versions, manual or motor operated, and motor models stop automatically when a digital counter reaches the preset number of drops. Both versions are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Mortar Flow Table Used For?

The flow mould is placed at the centre of the table, filled with fresh mortar in layers using the tamper, and lifted away to leave a cone of mortar. The table is then raised and dropped the specified number of times, and the diameter of the spread is measured; a wider spread means a more fluid mix. Laboratories use the result to fix the water content for mortar specimens and to compare lime, masonry and cement mortars.

A manual table suits teaching labs with modest throughput, while motor-operated models remove variation in drop rate because the digital counter ends each cycle automatically. For engineering lab equipment in India that must serve students and project testing, keep the table top clean, dry and level, and wipe the flow mould between tests.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The version your test procedure follows: EN or ASTM (EN versions include the filling hopper)
• Manual or motor-operated model; motor models have the 180 W drive and digital preset counter
• Table type that matches your procedure: 300 mm steel or 254 mm bronze
• Quantity, and any spare flow moulds or tampers

Cement curing bench-type cabinet (Product Code: SLE/CE/56) is a refrigerated curing cabinet used to store cement and mortar specimens at a controlled temperature and 95% ± 5% relative humidity in testing laboratories. The unit has four cells with a total capacity of about 400 litres, and its internal temperature can be set between 18 and 30 °C with ±1 °C accuracy. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to cement and construction laboratories.

Specifications

What Is the Cement Curing Cabinet Used For?

Freshly cast cement and mortar specimens need a saturated, temperature-controlled atmosphere between casting and demoulding, before any water curing begins. The cabinet provides this with a refrigeration unit and an evaporation-based humidity system, so specimens neither dry out nor get wetted by spray. Prisms, cubes and moulds for tests such as setting time and soundness can all be stored on its adjustable shelves.

Before installation, check that a water mains connection is available with inlet water between 5 and 36 °C, and that the room stays within 18 to 28 °C. Keep each shelf within its 40 kg limit and use the 70 mm shelf spacing to fit taller moulds. For engineering lab equipment in India serving both teaching and commercial testing, the four separate cells make it easy to keep batches apart.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of extra shelves (up to 5 per cell; 1 per cell included)
• Curing temperature your procedure requires within the 18 to 30 °C range
• Site conditions: water mains connection, inlet water 5 to 36 °C, ambient 18 to 28 °C
• Floor space and handling for the 2400 × 700 × 860 mm, approx. 210 kg cabinet

Consolidation Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/57) is a three-station steel loading bench used to consolidate soil specimens ahead of triaxial testing in geotechnical and soil mechanics laboratories. It consolidates three triaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests under anisotropic conditions, which shortens testing time when only one compression machine is available. It is fabricated by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for university and consultancy laboratories.

Specifications

What Is the Consolidation Test Apparatus Used For?

In consolidated-undrained (CU) and consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial tests, each specimen must first be consolidated under a controlled stress, a stage that can take many hours and would otherwise tie up the compression machine. Moving that stage onto this three-frame bench frees the compression machine for the shearing stage, so a laboratory with a single machine keeps three specimens progressing in parallel.

Anisotropic consolidation is achieved by adding weights to the hangers to raise the axial stress above the confining pressure in the cell. The listed dial gauge, weight set and test form pads also support one-dimensional consolidation work on 60 mm diameter specimens. As lab equipment for research in India, it suits postgraduate projects as well as consultancy testing; level the bench, seat each cell on its centering platen and add weights gently.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Triaxial cell sizes in use (specimens 35 to 100 mm), and for other makes, confirmation of the 13 mm × 3 mm centering hole
• Axial measurement: dial gauges or displacement transducers, and how many
• Beam loading device(s) and slotted weights needed to complete the set-up
• Extra test form pads or weight sets

OEM Manufacturer

The Consolidation Test Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Each bench is delivered factory-direct to universities, geotechnical laboratories, dealers and importers.

Because the apparatus usually needs gauges, loading devices and weights to complete it, you can agree the full configuration directly with the maker before ordering — ask us. Company details: ScienceLab company profile.

Direct Shear test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/58) is a split shear box with a loading unit used to measure the shear strength of soil on 60 × 60 × 25 mm specimens in soil mechanics laboratories. Normal stress up to 8 kg/cm² is applied directly or through a counter-balanced lever, and a 200 kg proving ring with dial gauges records the response. The apparatus is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Direct Shear Test Apparatus Used For?

The direct shear test gives a soil’s cohesion and angle of shearing resistance, the two parameters used in foundation, slope and retaining-wall design. A specimen trimmed with the cutter is placed between gripper plates and porous stones in the two-part box, the normal load is applied through the yoke, and one half of the box is displaced relative to the other so the soil fails along the horizontal plane. The proving ring measures shear force while the dial gauges record horizontal and vertical movement.

Repeating the test at several normal stresses plots the failure envelope. Perforated gripper plates with porous stones allow drainage, while plain plates suit undrained work. It is standard engineering lab equipment in India for geotechnical practicals; keep the roller strips clean, check the porous stones are not clogged, and zero both dial gauges before each run.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Normal stress range: the standard 3 kg/cm² weight set, or also the additional set for 5 kg/cm²
• Soil sampler for 60 × 60 mm specimens and test form pads

Constant Head permeability apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/59) is a Perspex permeameter cell used to measure the permeability of relatively coarse-grained soils such as sands and gravel in soil mechanics laboratories. It is offered in 75 mm and 114 mm nominal cell diameters, with pressure points at different levels that connect to a manometer stand and a constant level tank. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM manufacturer, makes it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Constant Head Permeability Apparatus Used For?

Water flows through the soil specimen in the cell under a head kept steady by the constant level tank. Once flow is steady, the volume collected over a measured time and the head difference read on the manometer between two pressure points give the coefficient of permeability through Darcy’s law. The transparent Perspex cell lets students watch saturation and spot air pockets or piping.

Coarse soils are free-draining, so the constant head method gives a measurable flow in a short time; for fine-grained clay-like or silty soils, the falling head method is recommended instead. Keep particles to 10 mm or less, use de-aired water and saturate the specimen fully before readings. Students and consultants use this engineering lab equipment in India for drainage, filter and earth-dam design exercises.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Cell size: 75 mm or 114 mm nominal diameter
• Whether the manometer stand and constant level tank should be quoted with the cell
• Number of cells for parallel testing
• Whether a falling head permeability apparatus is also needed for fine-grained soils

OEM Manufacturer

Registered as Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597) and trading as ScienceLab, the company is the original equipment manufacturer of this permeameter.

Falling head permeability apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/60) is a soil permeameter used to determine the coefficient of permeability of soil by timing how quickly water falls in a standpipe as it seeps through the specimen. It is recommended for soils with permeability from 10^-3 to 10^-7 cm/s and particles no larger than 10 mm, and it can also be used with a constant head. It comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer that makes it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Falling Head Permeability Apparatus Used For?

In silts, clays and fine sands, water moves so slowly that collecting a measurable volume at constant head would take too long. Instead, water is allowed to fall in a narrow standpipe above the specimen, and the time taken for the level to drop between two marks, together with the standpipe area and the specimen length and area, gives the coefficient of permeability.

The results feed into the design of clay liners, earth dams, foundations and drainage, and students can compare compacted and undisturbed samples of the same soil. It is useful engineering educational equipment for soil mechanics practicals. Saturate the specimen fully, use de-aired water, check joints for leaks before timing, and keep particles to 10 mm or less.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Falling head permeability apparatus as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Engineering colleges, research laboratories, dealers and importers buy it direct from the maker instead of through a trading company.

Plate load bearing test apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/61) is a hydraulic field loading set used to estimate the bearing capacity of soil beneath a loading plate at a chosen depth of embedment on construction and pavement sites. Geotechnical engineers, highway and airport pavement designers and civil engineering colleges use it with 300 mm and 450 mm diameter plates and a 200 kN or 500 kN piston assembly. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Plate Load Bearing Test Apparatus Used For?

The set reproduces a foundation or wheel load directly on the ground. The loading plate is bedded on the prepared test level, the hydraulic piston is jacked against a reaction load provided on site, and pressure is raised in increments with the hand pump while the digital readout shows the applied load. After each increment the three dial gauges, held from the 2.4 m datum bar, record how far the plate settles.

Plotting load against settlement lets students and site engineers judge the safe bearing pressure of a foundation stratum or the support offered by a subgrade and flexible pavement layers. As lab equipment for technical institutes, it also gives civil engineering students first-hand experience of a full-scale field test. Keep the datum bar supports well clear of the loaded area so the gauges read true plate movement.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Piston assembly capacity: 200 kN or 500 kN
• Loading plates required: 300 mm diameter, 450 mm diameter or both
• Number of complete sets for your department or site teams

Relative density test apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/62) is a vibratory table and mould assembly used to compact free-draining sands and gravels to their densest state so their relative density can be calculated in soil mechanics laboratories. Geotechnical labs and civil engineering colleges use it with 3000 ml and 15000 ml unit weight moulds on a cushioned steel deck of about 75 cm x 75 cm. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and TVET lab equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Relative Density Test Apparatus Used For?

Clean sands and gravels do not give a clear peak in a normal compaction test, so their state of packing is described by relative density instead. With this apparatus, dry soil is placed in the mould, the guide sleeve is clamped on, and the surcharge base plate and weight are seated on top. The table then vibrates the filled mould, and the dial gauge with its extension piece records how far the surcharge plate has settled, giving the compacted volume.

Comparing the field density of a sand fill with its maximum and minimum densities tells engineers how loose or dense the deposit is, which matters for foundations, backfill behind walls and embankments. For colleges buying from an engineering lab equipment manufacturer, it turns a textbook index into a practical exercise. Bolt the table to a firm floor so vibration goes into the specimen, not the bench.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Mould capacity: 3000 ml, 15000 ml or both, based on the particle size of your soils
• Confirmation that a 415 V three-phase supply is available where the table will stand
• Extra surcharge weights, guide sleeves or dial gauges you would like quoted
• Number of complete sets required

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM for this relative density test apparatus. The company produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sells it factory-direct, so there is no trading middleman between the maker and your laboratory.

Engineering colleges, research labs, dealers and importers receive quotations straight from the manufacturer, and follow-up orders for moulds or surcharge parts are handled by the same team — just ask us. Background on the company is on our company profile.

Automatic CBR Test Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/63) is a motorised load frame used to drive a penetration piston into a compacted soil sample at a constant rate and record load against penetration to find the California Bearing Ratio in highway and soil laboratories. Road research labs and civil engineering departments choose it for its 50 kN load cell, 0.5 to 5 mm/min ram speed and touchscreen unit that works out CBR at 2.5 mm and 5 mm automatically. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Supplied complete with: 50 kN load cell, penetration piston, linear potentiometric displacement transducer with connection part, computer software and connection cable.

What Is the Automatic CBR Test Apparatus Used For?

The California Bearing Ratio compares the load needed to push a standard piston into a soil or granular base with the load for a reference material, and it is widely used to size flexible pavement layers. A compacted specimen in its mould is set on the platen, the piston is brought into contact with the up and down buttons, and the machine then penetrates at the chosen constant rate while logging load and displacement.

Because the readout stores load at your chosen penetration points, applies the curve correction and reports CBR at 2.5 mm and 5 mm, operators no longer read a proving ring dial by eye. Results can be exported over Ethernet for reports, which suits busy highway labs looking for test and measurement instruments in India. Zero the transducer after seating the piston so the first readings are clean.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of machines and the delivery destination
• Preferred unit system (kN, ton or lb) and whether the unit will be networked to a laboratory PC over Ethernet
• CBR moulds, rammers and surcharge weights are not in the listed scope of supply — ask us if you want them quoted

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies this automatic CBR test apparatus from Ambala, Haryana, India to universities, highway and materials laboratories, dealers and importers.

Field CBR test set (Product Code: SLE/CE/64) is a portable mechanical jacking and load-measuring kit used to determine the California Bearing Ratio of soils in place on road construction sites. Highway engineers and civil engineering colleges use its 50 kN mechanical jack and 40 kN load ring in the field, or assemble the frame in the laboratory as a hand-operated CBR machine. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Field CBR Test Set Used For?

On site, a loaded vehicle gives the reaction: the mechanical jack is fixed beneath it through the vehicle bracket, and the extension rods carry the force down to the penetration piston resting on the prepared subgrade. Slotted surcharge weights placed around the piston stand in for the pavement layers above, the jack is turned steadily, and the load ring shows the force while the dial gauge on the aluminium datum bar records penetration.

Testing in place avoids disturbing the soil and shows how the subgrade actually behaves at its natural moisture and density, which helps engineers confirm a pavement design. Colleges can move the same parts indoors and build a hand-operated laboratory CBR machine, so one purchase of engineering lab equipment in India covers both site and classroom work. Level the tripod stands well away from the piston before zeroing the gauge.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Whether you need the vehicle bracket for field reaction quoted with the set
• Whether you also want the laboratory frame to use the set as a hand-operated CBR machine
• Any individual spares required, such as an extra load ring, dial gauge or extension rods
• Number of complete sets for your field teams or laboratory

Unconfined Compression Tester (Motorised) (Product Code: SLE/CE/65) is a motor-driven screw load frame used to measure the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil specimens in geotechnical and civil engineering laboratories. Its 5000 kg capacity frame and gearbox give three rates of strain — 1.25, 1.5 and 2.5 mm/min — for testing cylindrical clay samples. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM technical educational equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Unconfined Compression Tester Used For?

A trimmed cylinder of clay, with its ends shaped by the coning tools, is set between the cone seatings and squeezed axially with no side support. The motor drives the platen at the selected strain rate while a proving ring, fitted through the adaptor, shows the load and a dial gauge on the strain bracket shows how much the specimen shortens. The peak stress reached is the unconfined compressive strength.

Because roughly half of that value approximates the undrained shear strength of saturated clay, the test is a quick input for foundation and slope checks, and comparing undisturbed with remoulded samples shows how sensitive a clay is. For lab equipments for technical institutes, the motor drive keeps the strain rate steady from one student group to the next. Record readings at regular strain intervals until the load clearly falls.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Sample diameters you test: 38 mm coning tools are supplied; 50, 75 and 100 mm pairs are optional accessories
• Whether you want a proving ring and dial gauge quoted, as they are not included
• Confirmation of a 230 V single-phase supply at the test bench
• Number of testers required

OEM Manufacturer

This unconfined compression tester is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab brand, acting as the original equipment manufacturer. The motorised frame is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and reaches universities, soil laboratories, dealers and importers without an intermediary.

Coning tools for other sample sizes and repeat orders are handled by the same manufacturer, so ask us whenever your testing range grows. Learn more on our company profile.

Liquid limit devices (Casagrande) (Product Code: SLE/CE/66) are cam-operated brass cup instruments used to determine the liquid limit of fine-grained soils in soil mechanics and civil engineering laboratories. Students and testing staff use them to find the water content at which a grooved soil pat closes over 1.25 cm under 25 blows, with a built-in counter recording every drop. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM among lab instruments manufacturers in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Casagrande Liquid Limit Device Used For?

Moist soil paste is spread in the brass cup, a groove is cut through it with one of the grooving tools, and the handle is turned at a steady pace so the cam lifts and drops the cup onto the rubber base. The counter tallies each blow until the two halves of the pat flow together over 1.25 cm. Repeating this at several water contents and plotting blows against moisture gives the water content at 25 blows — the liquid limit.

At that moisture the soil is just passing from a liquid to a plastic state, so the liquid limit, together with the plastic limit, is used to classify clays and silts and to anticipate their compressibility. For colleges sourcing from an engineering lab equipment manufacturer, it is one of the first soil tests students perform. Check the 1 cm drop with the gauge block before each session and keep the rubber base clean and dry.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, is the OEM for these Casagrande liquid limit devices, which are manufactured at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Soil laboratories, polytechnics, universities, dealers and importers order them straight from the factory rather than through a trader.

The manufacturer can also quote extra grooving tools or height gauge blocks when you need them — just ask us. More background is on our company profile.

Related Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

The liquid limit is one of the Atterberg limits, and these items complete the set of consistency tests:

• Plastic limit set — the lower consistency limit, needed for the plasticity index
• Shrinkage limit set — the water content below which soil stops shrinking
• Moisture Tins — oven-drying the samples taken from each trial
• Brass frame sieves — separating the fine soil fraction before mixing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Liquid limit devices (Casagrande)?
Each Casagrande liquid limit device includes a brass cup on an adjustable bracket, a cam-operated drop mechanism with rubber base, a blow counter, one Casagrande grooving tool, one ASTM grooving tool and a height gauge block for setting the fall.

How is the drop height set on the Casagrande liquid limit device?
The Casagrande liquid limit device cup is adjustable for a fall of 1 cm. Place the supplied height gauge block under the raised cup, adjust the bracket until the cup just touches it, then lock the setting before testing.

What does the liquid limit measured with the Casagrande device mean?
The liquid limit found with the Casagrande device is the water content at which a standard groove closes over 1.25 cm under 25 blows. At this point the soil passes from liquid to plastic behaviour and has a strength of about 0.17 N/cm².

Why does the Casagrande liquid limit device come with two grooving tools?
The Casagrande liquid limit device includes both a Casagrande grooving tool and an ASTM grooving tool, so your laboratory can cut the groove shape called for by the test procedure it follows.

Who manufactures the Liquid limit devices (Casagrande)?
The Liquid limit devices (Casagrande) are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and are sold factory-direct with quotations issued by the manufacturer.

Shrinkage limit set (Product Code: SLE/CE/67) is a kit of dishes, a glass cup and a pronged Perspex plate used to measure the shrinkage limit of cohesive soils — the water content below which further drying no longer reduces soil volume. Civil engineering colleges and testing labs use it to calculate shrinkage ratio, shrinkage index and volumetric shrinkage; the set is supplied without mercury. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM vocational training lab equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Shrinkage Limit Set Used For?

As a wet clay dries it shrinks, but only down to a certain water content; after that, air enters the voids and the volume stays constant. To find that point, a wet soil pat is dried in the shrinkage dish and its dry volume is measured by mercury displacement: the glass cup is filled with mercury, levelled with the Perspex plate, and the dry pat is pressed under the surface with the three metal prongs so the displaced mercury can be measured.

Soils with a low shrinkage limit and high volumetric shrinkage tend to crack on drying and heave on wetting, which matters for foundations, canal linings and pavements. Mercury is toxic, so work over a tray, avoid skin contact and follow your institution's handling and disposal rules. The set suits teaching labs that want a complete Atterberg-limits bench.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Whether the optional 500 g bottle of mercury should be quoted, subject to your institution's rules on its use
• Number of sets, for example one per student group
• Any companion liquid limit or plastic limit apparatus for the same bench

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM of this shrinkage limit set, which is made up as a complete kit at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It goes factory-direct to engineering colleges, soil testing laboratories, dealers and importers, with quotations prepared by the manufacturer itself.

For tender and vendor registration, the company's details are GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. If a dish or plate needs replacing later, ask us. See our company profile for more.

Plastic limit set (Product Code: SLE/CE/68) is a bench kit used to find the plastic limit of fine-grained soils — the water content at which a rolled soil thread just begins to crumble at 3 mm diameter — in soil mechanics laboratories. Students and technicians roll threads on its 20 cm x 15 cm glass plate, compare them with a 3 mm reference rod and dry the crumbs in six moisture containers. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific laboratory apparatus manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Plastic Limit Set Used For?

Fine soil is mixed with water in the porcelain basin using the spatula, with the wash bottle adding water a little at a time. A small ball is then rolled under the palm on the glass plate into a thread; when it reaches the thickness of the 3 mm rod without breaking, it is kneaded and rolled again. As the soil dries it eventually crumbles at that diameter, and those crumbs go into the moisture containers for oven-drying. Their average water content is the plastic limit.

Subtracting the plastic limit from the liquid limit gives the plasticity index, the key figure for classifying clays and silts on a plasticity chart. The kit is a staple of educational laboratory equipment in India for diploma and degree soil mechanics courses. Keep the glass plate clean and dry and roll with even pressure so results repeat between students.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Reference rod material: brass or stainless steel
• Number of sets, usually one per student group
• Whether you want extra moisture containers quoted for repeat trials

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which manufactures this plastic limit set as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the maker means the plate, rod, basin and containers arrive together as one set, sent factory-direct to colleges, polytechnics, soil laboratories, dealers and importers.

Additional sets for new student batches can be reordered from the same manufacturer — ask us whenever you expand the lab. Read about the company on our company profile.

Soil Augers (Product Code: SLE/CE/69) are hand-turned boring tools used to drill shallow holes and bring up disturbed soil samples for site investigation, soil surveys and environmental sampling. Field engineers and teaching labs choose between clay, standard, mud (Dutch) and sand patterns in 76 mm or 102 mm diameter, joined to a T-handle by quick-connect extensions. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer and laboratory equipment exporter from India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Soil Auger Used For?

The auger head is twisted into the ground with the T-handle, lifted out every few turns, and the soil caught in the bit is laid out in order of depth to build a simple log of the layers. Extensions are clicked on as the hole deepens. Open bits release sticky clay and moist soil easily, the closed sand bit stops dry granular soil from falling back down the hole, and the Dutch pattern cuts through wet, root-bound ground.

Typical jobs include preliminary checks before plate load or CBR tests, locating the water table, and collecting samples for moisture and Atterberg limit tests back in the lab. Stainless steel versions suit environmental sampling where contamination matters. Rugged, portable and easy to teach with, they are a practical part of engineering lab equipment in India for field-survey classes.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Auger type: clay, standard, mud (Dutch), sand, or one-piece soil sampler
• Diameter: 76 mm or 102 mm (the mud auger is 76 mm only)
• Handle and number of extensions, from 610 to 1,524 mm long, for your target depth
• Quick-connect steel, threaded-connector or stainless steel versions for environmental work

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer of these soil augers and makes them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Survey teams, universities, agricultural institutes, dealers and importers buy directly from the factory instead of through resellers.

Because the bits are designed to be rebuilt when worn, ask the manufacturer about replacement or reconditioned bits for your set rather than replacing the whole auger. Company details are on our company profile.

Core cutters (Product Code: SLE/CE/70) are open steel cylinders driven into the ground to cut out an intact soil core of known volume, used to measure the in-place density and moisture content of compacted fills and natural soils. Highway and building site laboratories use the set — core cutter, driving dolly and driving rammer — in 100 x 130 mm or 150 x 180 mm sizes. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Core Cutter Used For?

A small patch of the layer is levelled, the cutter is stood upright with the dolly on top, and the rammer drives both down until the cutter is completely filled. The dolly protects the cutter's rim and lets it sink just below the surface. The cutter is then dug out, its ends trimmed flush, and the core weighed; a portion is dried to find the moisture content, from which the dry density follows.

Comparing that field dry density with the laboratory maximum shows whether an embankment, subgrade or earth-fill layer has been compacted enough. The method suits fine-grained soils that hold together in the cutter; stony or loose dry soils need other techniques. Institutions buying from an engineering lab equipment manufacturer often order several cutters so student teams can test different fill layers at once.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Size: 100 x 130 mm or 150 x 180 mm, or both
• Number of complete sets (cutter, dolly and rammer) and any extra cutters
• Delivery location for site laboratories or college campuses

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, manufactures these core cutters as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. They go factory-direct to site laboratories, contractors' test labs, engineering colleges, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a Core cutters set?
A Core cutters set includes the core cutter itself, a driving dolly that sits on top of the cutter, and a driving rammer used to drive the assembly into the soil. All are steel, protected against corrosion.

What sizes are the Core cutters available in?
Core cutters are available in two versions: 100 mm diameter x 130 mm high, and 150 mm diameter x 180 mm. The larger cutter takes a bigger core, which can be useful when a layer's density varies from spot to spot.

How is dry density calculated from a Core cutters sample?
With Core cutters, the mass of soil in the cutter divided by the cutter's internal volume gives the bulk density. Dividing that by one plus the moisture content, measured on a dried portion of the core, gives the dry density.

Which soils are suitable for testing with Core cutters?
Core cutters work best in fine-grained, cohesive soils without stones, which stay in the cutter when it is dug out. Gravelly, stony or loose dry sandy soils tend to fall out or damage the rim, so other field density methods are preferred there.

Who manufactures the Core cutters?
The Core cutters are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and are sold factory-direct with quotations issued by the manufacturer.

Can Core cutters be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes, Core cutters can be quoted in multiple sets for contractors and institutions and shipped within India or to international markets. Include the sizes, number of sets and delivery destination in your enquiry.

What Is the Load Ring Penetrometer Used For?

The operator stands over the test spot, grips the T-handle and pushes the cone steadily into the soil. The graduations on the extension rod show how deep the cone has gone in 100 mm steps, while the maximum-load pointer stays at the highest reading on the ring so it can be noted after the cone is withdrawn. The calibration chart converts that reading into force, and dividing by the cone area gives the penetration resistance.

Because a reading takes only moments, the instrument is ideal for mapping how evenly a fill or subgrade has been compacted, finding soft spots before CBR or plate load tests, and checking ground conditions for vehicle access or farm soil studies. As educational laboratory equipment in India, it gives students a quick, hands-on feel for soil strength. Keep the rod vertical and push at an even speed for comparable results.

Penetration readings are often combined with other quick field and laboratory tests. These instruments work alongside it:

• Proctor penetrometer — moisture versus penetration resistance of fine-grained soils
• Dial penetrometers — pocket-size readings of sand friction and clay cohesion
• Field CBR test set — in-situ bearing ratio where the penetrometer shows weak ground
• Core cutters — in-place density to confirm the degree of compaction

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Load ring penetrometer measure?
The Load ring penetrometer measures the resistance of soil to a pushed cone, which is used to judge the bearing strength and degree of compaction of soils in fills, subgrades and natural ground, both on site and in the laboratory.

What size is the cone on the Load ring penetrometer?
The Load ring penetrometer uses a 30° end cone with a base area of 645 mm², equal to 1 square inch. That known area lets the ring reading be converted into penetration resistance per unit area.

What load capacity does the Load ring penetrometer have?
The Load ring penetrometer has a 1 kN (100 kgf) capacity load ring fitted with a maximum-load pointer, so the peak force reached during each push stays displayed until you reset it.

How is penetration depth read on the Load ring penetrometer?
Penetration depth on the Load ring penetrometer is read from its extension rod, which carries five graduations spaced 100 mm apart, so readings can be taken at set depths below the surface.

Is the Load ring penetrometer supplied with calibration data?
Yes, the Load ring penetrometer is supplied complete with a calibration chart for converting ring readings to load. If you need a separate calibration certificate, discuss it with us on the contact page before ordering.

Who manufactures the Load ring penetrometer?
The Load ring penetrometer is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer.

Is the Load ring penetrometer easy to carry on site?
Yes, the Load ring penetrometer weighs about 4 kg, so one person can carry it across a site and take many readings in a short time without any power supply.

Proctor penetrometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/72) is a spring-dynamometer needle penetrometer used to establish the relationship between moisture content and penetration resistance of fine-grained soils, in compaction testing and for checking rolled fills. Soil laboratories use it with nine interchangeable needles, from 28.55 mm down to 4.52 mm diameter, reading the push on a 0 to 55 kg scale. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Proctor Penetrometer Used For?

In the laboratory, a needle is pushed steadily into each compacted specimen as the compaction test proceeds, and the maximum force — held by the sliding ring — is divided by the needle's end area to give penetration resistance. Plotting resistance against water content produces a curve that sits alongside the compaction curve. On site, a quick push into the rolled fill can then be compared with that curve to judge whether the fill was placed too wet or too dry.

Swapping needles keeps readings within the 0 to 55 kg scale: broad needles for soft, wet soil and slender ones for stiff, dry soil. For lab equipments for technical institutes, it shows students clearly how moisture changes soil strength. Clean each needle after use and store the set in order of size so the right end area is always used in calculations.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, manufactures the Proctor penetrometer as its own OEM product at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is shipped factory-direct to soil laboratories, universities, polytechnics, dealers and importers.
