Soil Testing Equipments

It is used for rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavement constructed with unbound materials. The unit incorporates an 8 Kg weight having a drop of 575 mm , fitted to end of the shaft is a 20 mm diameter cone. With the standard DCP measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 800 mm. Reading are taken after a set number of blows, changing the number according to the strength of layer being penetrated. For good granular bases, readings every 5-10 blows are satisfactory, but for weaker sub-base layers and sub grades, readings every 1-2 blows may be appropriate.

The DCP requires Three operators, one to hold the instrument in a vertical position, one to raise the hammer and let it fall and one to record the results. A typical test takes only a few minutes, providing a very efficient method of obtaining information, which would otherwise require the excavation of test pits. Where pavement layers have different strengths, boundaries can be identified and layer thickness determined.

Supplied complete in a nice Wooden Carrying Case.

It is designed to determine the swelling pressure developed by soil specimens moulded to desired densities at known moisture contents, when soaked in water. The load applied to restrain the swelling is transferred on to a load measuring proving ring through a perforated swell plate and a load transfer bar. The proving ring is attached to the lead screw of hand operated load frame. A soaking tank is provided for saturating the specimen and the base of the mould provided has channels and radial grooves with connecting holes. Consists of one Load Frame, hand operated 50 KN one swell mould, 100mm dia x 127.3 mm ht x 1000c.c. volume with base plate and collar. one Perforated Swell Plate 100 mm dia x 16 mm thick, one spacer 100 mm dia x 12.7 mm thick, two porous stones, one transfer bar, one steel ball and one Soaking Tank, 250 mm dia x 210 mm high.

Without dial gauge and proving ring.

Static Cone Penetrometer, 30 KN (3000 kgf) cap, Static cone penetration test is internationally recognized as a standard field test to collect data about bearing capacity and frictional resistance of soil. The equipment meets the essential requirements of IS:4968 (Part - III) the probing part consists of a cone which has an apex angle of 60 deg and an overall base diameter of 35.7 mm equivalent to area of 10 cm2 . The cone is connected with sounding rods which are protected by mantle tubes. The assembly of sounding rod and mantle tube is pushed into the soil, by means of a mechanical rack jack or by an engine driven hydraulic pumping unit and ram. Basically the test procedure consists of first pushing the cone alone, then the cone and the friction jacket and finally the w hole assembly in sequence through specified depth and noting the resistance in the first two cases, limited to the designed capacity of the unit. The readings are taken for ever y 20 cm of penetration, and thus continuous data of end bearing and frictional resistance of soil is recorded. The results are correlated with bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundation and piles. Static C one Test is unsuitable for gravelly soils. The Static Cone resistance is correlated with the 'N' value as obtained from standard penetration test, thus increasing the utility of the test. 'ASEW' Static Cone Penetrometers, both hand operated and engine driven, conform to the essential requirements of IS : 4968 (Part III) - 1976

High Sensitivity Proving Rings, Integral; are made out of special steel, carefully forged to give maximum strength & machined to give the highest sensitivities commensurate with high stability and to ensure ling life and accuracy. Sometimes called "Proving Rings," Load Rings are used with various asphalt, concrete, or soil instrumentation to measure loads, and are ideal for use with our Master Loader compression machines, Direct Shear machines and other testing equipment. Our high quality tensile steel rings have spherical seating suitable for all shear boxes and load frames. Each load ring is shipped with a fitted dial gauge and ASEW calibration certificate, and supplied with tables listing all measurement units.
