Lab Materials

Vicat Apparatus: a device used to determine the setting time and consistency of cement. It consists of a vertical plunger or needle that is released to penetrate a sample of cement paste placed in a mold. The depth of penetration helps assess the initial and final setting times, used to ensure if the cement meets construction standards.

Sieve Shaker/ Aggregate Shaker: a device used to sieve and separate materials, such as soil, aggregates, or powders, into different particle sizes. It uses a motor-driven mechanism to vibrate or shake a stack of sieves.

Mortar Mixer: a machine designed to prepare consistent and homogeneous mortar by mixing cement, sand, water, and other additives. It ensures efficient and uniform blending.
