Dunagan Test Set
Product Code : LSK-CL-10591
Dunagan Test Set (SKU LSK-CL-10591) is a portable kit for analysing the constituents of fresh concrete and for testing the specific gravity, absorption and silt content of fine and coarse aggregates. The balance, weights, buckets, basket and sieves all pack into one galvanised steel case, so the test can be run on site or in the lab. Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The set is built around a 5 kg balance with a 2,000 g brass weight set and 1 kg slotted weights. Immersion and soaking buckets, a water overflow container and a 203 x 203 mm wire-mesh density basket handle underwater weighing, while two 8 inch sieves separate the fractions.

Applications and Experiments for the Dunagan Test Set
The Dunagan method separates a fresh concrete sample by washing and weighing it in water, giving an estimate of how much cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate the mix contains. The same set measures aggregate specific gravity, absorption and silt, so it serves concrete technology practicals and site quality-control training.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: checking the proportions of a fresh concrete mix.
- Diploma civil engineering: specific gravity and absorption of fine and coarse aggregate.
- Silt determination in sand used for concrete.
- TVET site-supervision and quality-control courses: portable field checks.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises the 5 kg balance, 2,000 g brass weight set, 1 kg slotted weights, three scoops, immersion and soaking buckets, a water overflow container, the wire-mesh density basket, No. 4 and No. 100 sieves, and the galvanised steel case with cover and carrying handles.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask for a quotation for one set or for several teams, and it will give the packing, delivery time and price for that number. Companion vocational training equipment, such as the slump apparatus, can be priced on the same quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dunagan Test Set used for?
It is used to estimate the constituents of fresh concrete and to test the specific gravity, absorption and silt content of fine and coarse aggregates, all with one portable set.
Which sieves are included?
Two 203 mm (8 inch) sieves: a No. 4 mesh sieve 102 mm high and a No. 100 mesh sieve of standard height.
Is the set portable?
Yes. The components pack into a galvanised steel case with a cover and carrying handles, which makes it practical for site as well as laboratory use.
Who supplies the Dunagan Test Set?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India. Quotations go directly to engineering colleges and training institutes and to tender contractors and distributors.
