Laboratory Equipment

Sieves
ASTM C-136

Sieves are used to determine the size distribution of fine and coarse aggregate particles.

Sample Splitters (Sample Splitters)
ASTM C-702

Sample Splitters are designed to split dry materials in half. The materials contained in the hopper are divided into two equal portions by a series of chutes that discharge in opposite directions into two separate containers.

Los Angeles Abrasion Machine
ASTM C-131, C-535

This machine can be used to determine the wear resistance of aggregates such as crushed rock, slag and crushed or uncrushed gravel, in addition to obtaining the abrasion limits indicated in ASTM C-33.

Portable Sieve Shaker
ASTM C-136

The Portable Sieve Shaker performs a horizontal and vertical motion, along with a light shaking action. This combination of shaking actions ensures accurate sieving in large volume particle size testing.

Pedestal and Compaction Hammer for Stability Tests
ASTM D-1559

The pedestal and hammer are used to dynamically compact the bituminous specimen inside the compaction mold.

Centrifugal Asphalt Extractor
ASTM D-2172

The Centrifugal Asphalt Extractor is used to determine the amount of asphalt in bituminous pavement mixes, with maximum safety for the operator.

Field CBR Test Set
ASTM D-4429

Field CBR set designed for in-situ work.

Marshall Digital Stability Press
ASTM D-2172

The Marshall Stability Press is used to determine stability and deformability values of asphalt pavements. .

Sand Density Cone (6″)
ASTM D-1556

The Sand Density Cone is a practical method for determining the in-situ density of soils and materials used in gravel bases, roadways, dams, embankments and similar constructions.

Laboratory Furnace
ASTM C-566

This equipment is used to obtain the percentage of evaporable moisture in an aggregate sample by drying both the surface moisture and the moisture within the pores of the aggregate.

Auscultation with Light Dynamic Cone Point Penetrometer (DPL).
DIN 4094

Probe Soil Auscultation is an indirect process of prospecting foundation soils, which consists of introducing a probe generally perpendicularly, measuring the penetration resistance parameters.

Speedy Moisture Tester
ASTM D-4944

Determines the moisture content of a wide range of materials by reacting the sample with calcium carbide producing acetylene gas, which causes a pressure increase in the vessel.

Plastic Limit Test Kit
ASTM D-4318

It consists of a selection of the elements necessary to carry out the test and obtain the plastic limit of the soils.

Sand Equivalent Test Set
ASTM D-2419

The Sand Equivalent Test Kit is used to determine the relative portion of fine dust or deleterious clay materials contained in soils.

Shrinkage Limits Test Set.
ASTM D-427

Set of elements necessary to carry out the test according to ASTM specifications and determine the shrinkage limit of soils.

Casagrande Cup Manual Apparatus – Liquid Limit.
ASTM D-4318

Manual instrument designed to determine the liquid limit of soils.

CBR Mechanical Load Press
ASTM D-1883

Used to force piston penetration into the CBR compact specimen. The load is applied through a mechanical type jack that exerts a two-speed action.

Table Top Consolidation Apparatus
ASTM D-2435

The apparatus in conjunction with consolidation rings is used to determine the volume decrease and the rate at which this decrease occurs in a laterally confined soil specimen subjected to axial loading.

Digital Press for Concrete Core Breaking
ASTM C-39

Equipment for the determination of the compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens.

Direct Cutting Equipment
ASTM D-3080

In the direct shearing equipment, an attempt is made to break a sample according to a predetermined plane, in order to experimentally determine the cohesion and friction angle parameters that define the resistance of the granular soil.

Concrete Beam Breaking Presses
ASTM C-78

Apparatus used to determine the bending stress of concrete (using a simply supported beam with loads in the thirds of the span).
