Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates (Product Code: SLE/AG/11) is a buoyancy balance system used to weigh aggregate in air and in water to calculate specific gravity and water absorption in concrete and highway laboratories. This engineering lab equipment pairs a rigid frame and water tank, raised by a mechanical lifting device, with a 6000 g x 0.1 g balance. The frame-and-tank system is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and supplied with the balance.

What Is the Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Set Used For?

After soaking as the test method requires, the aggregate is placed in a suitable container hung from the suspension hook beneath the balance. Operating the mechanical lifting device raises the water tank until the specimen is fully immersed, and the weight in water is read without lifting the sample by hand. The tank is lowered, the aggregate is surface-dried and weighed in air, then oven-dried and weighed again. From these three masses the laboratory calculates the specific gravity and the percentage of water absorbed.

Because the lifting device moves the water rather than the specimen, readings are steadier and spills fewer than with a bucket held by hand. As lab equipment for technical institutes the set is also versatile, since the balance can serve as an ordinary weighing device when the frame is not in use. Fill the tank with clean water before each session, and drain and dry it at the end of the day.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this buoyancy balance system, which is built at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied complete with the 6000 g x 0.1 g balance. For institutional and tender buyers who need vendor registration details, the company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Sets go factory-direct to laboratories, colleges, dealers and importers, and follow-up requests such as a spare suspension hook are handled by the manufacturer, so just ask us.

Specific gravity and absorption testing also relies on:

• Density Basket — a wire mesh basket with handle for holding the aggregate while it is weighed in water.
• Oven, 43 litre — for the oven-dry mass that completes the absorption calculation.
• Riffle Sample Divider — obtains a representative test portion from the delivered aggregate.
• Sand Absorption Cone And Tamper — used to judge the saturated surface-dry condition of fine aggregate.
• Efflux Index Apparatus — assesses grain shape of the fine aggregate going into the same mix design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set?
The Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set includes a 6000 g x 0.1 g balance supplied with the rigid frame, the water tank and a suspension hook, with a mechanical lifting device to raise the tank.

What capacity and readability does the balance in this set have?
The balance in the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set weighs up to 6000 g in steps of 0.1 g, which suits coarse aggregate samples as well as smaller portions of material.

How is the sample immersed in the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set?
A mechanical lifting device raises the water tank through the height of the frame, so the specimen hanging below the balance of the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set is immersed without being lifted by hand.

Is a sample basket included with the set?
The listed supply of the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set is the balance, frame, water tank and suspension hook. A Density Basket is listed separately in our range; ask us to include one in your quotation.

Can the balance be used for other work?
Yes. The balance supplied with the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set may also be used as a standard weighing device, giving the laboratory a versatile weighing system when density tests are not running.

Who manufactures the Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set?
The Specific Gravity And Water Absorption of Aggregates set is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied complete with its balance.

Can a calibration certificate be provided for the balance?
