NAME IMAGE FUNCTION

1. Beaker An apparatus used as a reaction


container or to hold liquid or
solid samples. It is also used to
transfer liquids.

2. Graduated Cylinder An apparatus used to measure


the volume of a liquid.

3. Volumetric Flask An apparatus used for


measuring accurate volumes of
liquid materials.
4. Soil Lathe An apparatus used to extrude
and trim soil samples from 35
mm to 100 mm to reduce
samples.

5. Compaction Pedestal An apparatus used to measure


the workability of fresh
concrete.

6. High Voltage Sieve Sieve Shaker saves time and


Shaker (Horizontal effort and improves accuracy
Direction) for particle sizing operations.
High Voltage Sieve Sieve shaker agitate a stacked
Shaker (Vertical series of test sieves to
Direction) efficiently separate materials of
all different types through
electromagnetic drive in the
base.
7. Set of Sieves A device used to separate
wanted elements from
unwanted material or for
controlling the particle size
distribution of a sample, using
a screen such as a woven mesh
or net or perforated sheet
material.

8. Motorized California It is used determining the


Bearing Machine relative bearing ratio and
expansion characteristics under
known surcharge weight of
base, sub-base and subgrade
soils for the design of roads,
pavements and runways. It is
used extensively in selection of
materials and control of
subgrades.

9. Vicat Apparatus An apparatus generally used to


determine the required quantity
of water to produce a cement
paste of normal or standard
consistency and its setting time.
10. Electric Strain Direct An apparatus used to test
Shear Apparatus resisting shear strength of soil
specimen.

11. Marshall Stability A device used to measure the


Testing Apparatus resistance to displacement of a
compacted bituminous mixture.

12. Oven Thermo Designed to remove the


(Controlled) moisture from the oven
chamber to dry the samples as
quickly as possible.
13. Casagrande Cup An apparatus used to evaluate
(Liquid Limit Testing the relationship between the
Device) moisture percentage of a soil
sample and the number of
blows required to close a
groove made into the soil;
therefore to determine when a
clay soil changes from plastic
to liquid state.

14. Vernier Caliper A device used to measure the


distance between two opposite
sides of a surface. It can also
measure the internal and
external dimensions and the
height of an object with
accuracy.
15. Permeability Testing An equipment used to
Machine determine the permeability of
granular, gravel and sand soils.

16. Mortar and Pestle It is used together to break


down soil lumps prior to
testing.
17. Triple Beam Balance It is an instrument used to
measure mass very precisely.

18. Weighing Balance It is a device used to measure


(Digital) mass of an object.

19. Universal Tensile It is used to test the tensile


Machine strength and compressive
strength of the materials.
20. Compression Machine It is used to determine material
behaviors under compressive
pressure loads. It can measure
different properties of materials
such as elastic limits,
proportional limit, yield point,
yield strength, and more.

21. Slump Cone A concrete slump test


equipment used to measure the
consistency and workability of
a fresh concrete, and indirectly,
the water-cement ratio of the
concrete mix
22. Tamping Rod (Slump It is a round, straight steel rod
Test) used with concrete cylinder
molds, slump cones and unit
weight tests.

23. Concrete Cylinder It is used to create cylinder test


Mold specimens. The cylinder molds
are constructed pf plastic or
steel.
24. CHB Molder The Concrete Hollow Block
molder commonly used for
creating hollow blocks. It is
made from solid steel which
means it is durable and ready
for most heavy-duty jobs. It
uses an automatic sliding
mechanism.

25. Sand Cone Apparatus It is used to determine the


inplace density of any soil that
can be excavated to a stable
condition with hand tools.

26. Boring Materials/ Is a versatile tool used to carry


Apparatus out a range of shallow digging
necessary in obtaining soil
samples. It is used to
investigate and determine soil
compositon and conditions at a
site where construction is
planned.
27. Rectangular Mold and Is the shaping and designing
Square Mold frame used to design the liquid
concrete until it dries and be
able to sustain itself. Concrete
beam molds steel for molding
concrete flexural strength
specimens.
