Drying Oven
Product Code : LSK-CL-10596
Drying Oven (SKU LSK-CL-10596) is a 225-litre hot-air oven for drying large batches of aggregate and soil samples before grading, density and moisture tests. It suits concrete and materials-testing labs in polytechnics, engineering colleges and TVET institutes that train civil engineering technicians. Training institutes, colleges, tender contractors and distributors can order it from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, a TVET lab equipment supplier.

Applications and Experiments for the Drying Oven
The oven dries aggregate and soil samples to constant mass, so that moisture content, water absorption, specific gravity and grading results are worked out on dry weight. In training labs it supports concrete, aggregate and soil practicals on civil engineering diploma, degree and TVET programmes.
- Diploma and B.E./B.Tech civil engineering: oven-drying aggregates before sieve analysis and density tests.
- Concrete technology practicals: moisture content and water absorption of fine and coarse aggregate.
- TVET civil engineering modules: drying soil for water content in Atterberg limit tests, such as threads rolled with the Plastic Limit Set.
- Field density exercises: drying soil dug out with a Core Cutter or from a Sand Replacement Equipment test hole.
Trays and inner surfaces become hot at working temperatures, so students should use heat-resistant gloves under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The oven is supplied as described above: the 225-litre chamber with three shelves, the PID controller with timer and digital display, and the blower air circulation system. A balance and sample containers, which moisture tests also need, are separate items and can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be requested for a single oven or for several units for a lab, and each one states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Sieves, a balance or other concrete lab items can be quoted alongside it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Drying Oven used for?
It dries large quantities of aggregate and soil samples at a set temperature between 50 and 300 °C, so that moisture content and other results in concrete and soil labs are calculated on a dry-mass basis.
How many shelves does the oven have?
Three shelves are provided and the 225-litre chamber has four shelf positions, so spacing can be changed for deeper trays while the blower fan keeps hot air moving around them.
Who supplies the Drying Oven?
The oven comes from Science Lab Supplies, which handles orders from Ambala, India. Colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors receive a written quotation that sets out packing and delivery time for the quantity they ask for.
Can the oven be included in a lab tender?
Yes. Send the tender specification, quantity and delivery location through the contact page, and the quotation will list this oven item by item with any other concrete lab equipment you need.
