3. UNIVERSAL TESTING MACHINE A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a versatile mechanical testing apparatus designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials. It can perform various types of tests, such as tension, compression, bending, and shear tests, to determine properties like strength, elasticity, ductility, and more

4. CONCRETE TEST HAMMERS used for non-destructive testing (NDT) of in-place concrete evaluate strength and consistency.

5. CONSOLIDOMETER WITH MICROMETER GAUGE the consolidation apparatus is used for compression test of the soil to determine the relationship between deformation and compression of the soil, to calculate the unit settlement, compression index, resilient index as well as consolidation coefficient of the soil, etc. is a specialized geotechnical testing device used to measure the consolidation characteristics and settlement behavior of soil samples under applied loads.

6. STRAIN CONTROLLED DIRECT SHEAR APPARATUS A testing device used in geotechnical engineering to study the shear behavior of soil specimens under controlled deformation conditions

7. FIELD DENSITY TEST a quality control test for soil compaction and stability

8. HYDRAULIC BENCH a versatile experimental apparatus used in fluid mechanics to demonstrate and study various principles related to fluid flow and properties.

9. a testing instrument used in geotechnical engineering to evaluate the compressive strength and deformation characteristics of soil samples under controlled strain conditions, without lateral confinement. STRAIN CONTROLLED UNCONFINED COMPRESSION APPARATUS

10. Point Load Testing Machine is a geotechnical testing device designed to determine the rock or material strength of a sample by applying a concentrated load at a specific point.

11. STRAIN CONTROLLED TRIAXIAL TESTING APPARATUS is a specialized geotechnical testing device used to investigate the mechanical behavior of soil specimens under controlled stress conditions in a triaxial stress state, where the vertical stress, confining stress, and axial stress are controlled independently

12. VICAT APPARATUS is a penetration device used in testing of hydraulic cements and similar materials to determine their normal or standard consistency. It is also used to determine the initial setting time and final setting time of hydraulic cements and similar materials.

13. SLUMP CONE APPARATUS A Slump cone test or concrete Slump test is to determine the workability or consistency of the concrete mixture prepared in the laboratory or at the construction site during the course of work
