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

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.

• Bulk density of cement — measures the loose bulk density of the sampled cement
• Vicat Needle Apparatus With Dashpot — for consistency and setting-time tests on the sample

More cement, concrete and soil apparatus is listed in the Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are cement samplers used for?
Cement samplers are used to take representative samples of cement from bulk storage or bulk shipments. The ScienceLab cement sampler (SLE/CE/48) is pushed into the cement with its slots open, then the inner tube is rotated to close the slots and hold the sample for withdrawal.

How much cement does the cement sampler hold?
The ScienceLab cement sampler holds approximately 3 litres of cement per draw and weighs about 1 kg. For a larger composite sample, take several draws from different points in the stock and combine them before testing.

What are the cement samplers made of?
The cement samplers are made of brass, as two concentric brass tubes with matching slots. The inner tube turns inside the outer one to open or close the slots, and the smooth brass surfaces are easy to wipe clean between different cement lots.

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.

Related Civil Engineering Lab Equipment

• Cement curing bench-type cabinet — humid, temperature-controlled storage before the heating stage
• Cement samplers — for taking the cement sample to be tested

Other cement and concrete testing apparatus is listed in the Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category.

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

OEM Manufacturer

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?
The Bulk density of cement apparatus measures 350 × 350 × 520 mm and weighs approximately 3 kg, so it fits on a standard laboratory bench and can be moved easily between work areas or stored in a cupboard.

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

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM that builds these flow tables at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Because the manufacturer supplies both EN and ASTM versions, a laboratory can settle the version, drive type and accessories directly with the people who make the table.
