Soil Testing Equipments

Piston Sampler, Stationary type: Consists of : Sampling tube, 55 mm O.D. and 580 mm effective length., Piston ., Piston connecting rod, 1 meter long and One Drive head with adapter for 'A' type drill rods.

Designed for lab and field use to extract soil samples from 1.5",2",3", 4" and 6" compaction molds, as well as 2" tube samples. The ejection force is generated by means of a 5-ton (50 kN) capacity, hand-operated hydraulic jack. The steel ejector head assembly can be positioned at different heights through the use of quick release nuts . This enables the operator to easily match the ejection travel to the height of the mold being used. Allows direct transfer of soil from field sampling tubes with minimal disturbance, 170 mm piston stroke.

Consisting of a channel base, two slotted side supports, a bracket and a lead screw with locking collar and handle. Complete with adapter plate and plunger for 38 mm, 75 mm, 100mm and 150 mm dia tube or mould and one stand to obtain three 38 mm dia samples from the 100mm dia sample.

Riffle sample divider IS: 1607-1977; IS: 2720 (P-iv), ASTM C136, D421, D422, BS:812 (part103), 1377, AASHTO T27, T87.
ASEW , Riffle-type sample splitter can be used to divide or halve dry materials such as cement, gravel, powdered ores, aggregate, coal, coke, sand, soils, etc. Material poured into the hopper is divided into two equal portions by a series of chutes that discharge the material alternately in opposite directions into separate pans. Splitter is Mild steel construction it consists of a metal box fitted with a series of chutes of equal width which discharge the material alternatively in opposite directions into separate pans. The chutes of the riffle are steep enough to allow rapid flow of the material.
