Nuclear-Free Sand Replacement Field Density Kit 150 mm

Field density apparatus using the sand replacement method with a 150 mm pouring cylinder for compacted fill and sub-base layers. Used by site QA teams on highways, runways and embankments.

Specification

A calibrated pouring cylinder deposits graded Ennore sand into a hand-excavated test hole to measure its volume, from which in-place dry density is calculated. This kit is suited to coarse and mixed soils where core cutters are not practical. It forms a standard QA check for compaction control on earthwork sites.

Features

• Pouring cylinder of 3 litre and 7 litre sizes with shutter
• Calibrating container with known volume
• Rugged base plate with 165 mm and 200 mm holes
• Portable field carry case
• Calibration conforms to standard mould volume
