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.

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?

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.
