SAND CONE / REPLACEMENT TEST SET

SAND CONE / REPLACEMENT TEST SET

CODE : T061

• The Sand Cone / Replacement Test Set is used to determine the in-situ density of compacted fine-grained soils using the sand replacement method, providing accurate measurements essential for quality control in earthworks and pavement construction.
• The test involves excavating a hole in the compacted soil layer, filling it with calibrated sand from a container, and measuring the volume of sand required to fill the hole, thereby calculating the soil's density.
• This apparatus is particularly effective for soils with particles smaller than 50 mm and is widely used in geotechnical investigations and construction projects to ensure compliance with compaction specifications.
• The set includes a sand cone, base plate, and a sand pouring cylinder or plastic jar, all constructed from durable materials to withstand rigorous field conditions and repeated use.
• Optional accessories, such as calibration containers and standard sand, are available to enhance the accuracy and reliability of test results, aligning with international testing standards.
