Cat No : AT-016
NAME : Liquid Limit Device
QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V)

Specification :
Liquid Limit Device Hand Operated fitted with blow counter complete with casangrande grooving tools and a Gauge Block. The liquid limit is defined as the moisture content at which the soil passes from plastic state to liquid state; it is very helpful in the classification of the potential properties of the soil material. The liquid limit device consists of a hard rubber base carrying a sliding carriage assembly to which a brass cup is hinged. The cup is raised and allowed to fall through a height of 1cm on to the hard rubber base, by the help of a lead screw provided at the back of the sliding carriage.

Cat No : AT-017
NAME : Liquid Limit (Electrically Operated)
QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V)

Specification :

The liquid limit is defined as the moisture content at which the soil passes from plastic state to liquid state; it is very helpful in the classification of the potential properties of the soil material. The liquid limit device consists of a hard rubber base carrying a sliding carriage assembly to which a brass cup is hinged. The cup is raised and allowed to fall through a height of 1cm on to the hard rubber base, by the help of a lead screw provided at the back of the sliding carriage. The apparatus is suitable for operation on 220V, Single Phase, 50Hz, AC Supply.

Cat No : AT-018-1
NAME : Soil Cone Penetrometer
QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V)

Specification :
Cone Penetration Test of Soil is based on the relationship between moisture content and the penetration of the cone into the soil sample. The moisture content at a given depth of penetration of the cone is taken as the liquid limit. The Automatic Penetrometer (Digital Timer) is supplied complete with a stainless steel penetration test cone 35mm long with a smooth polished surface and an angle of 30° and a Penetration test cup 55mm dia x 40mm deep. Facility exists for adjusting cone height in relation to the specimen

The apparatus is suitable for operation on 220V, Single Phase, 50Hz, AC Supply.

Cat No : AT-028
NAME : Sand Pouring Cylinder
QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-XXVIII)

Specification :
The apparatus is used for determination of the dry density of compact, fine, medium grained soils and for layers not exceeding 50cm thickness. A circular hole is dug into the ground, all the soil from within it collected, weighed and dried, and the hole back filled with a standard uniform sand or fine gravel, poured from a calibrated container for calculating the volume of hole. The complete apparatus consists of a Sand Pouring Cylinder fitted with Conical funnel and Shutter, Cylindrical Calibration Container, and a Metal tray with a central hole.

NAME : Proctor Compaction Test Apparatus

Specification :
Soil compaction is a fundamental requirement for the construction of earth fill for dams, reservoirs, canal embankments, highways, railways and runways. The relationship between soil moisture content and compacted dry density is very useful for deciding construction specifications and quality control of compacted earthfill. The construction quality control is essentially to check the density of compacted soil achieved in the field, thereby checking its strength.

Cat No : AT-036
NAME : Speedy Moisture Meter
QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V)

Specification :
Moisture content of soil is generally measured as a ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids, expressed in percentage. As soil behavior depends on its moisture content, it is one of the basic parameters defining the soil condition. The ‘Moisture’ a content of soil, can be obtained quickly with reasonable accuracy by using a Speedy Moisture Meter. The test technique is based on the fact that water will react with calcium carbide to form acetylene gas. The quantity of acetylene gas produced is indicated on a built- in pressure gauge. A conversation formula gives the corresponding moisture content based on dry weight. Each instrument is supplied complete in a wooden carrying case consisting of pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge in percentage moisture content 0-25% or 0-50% on the wet weight basis (6 gm) counter poised balance for weighing samples, scoop for measuring calcium carbide, bottle of calcium carbide (500gm), a set of 4 steel balls and a cleaning brush.
