Relative Density Gauge Set for Soil Compaction Testing
The Relative Density Gauge Set is a crucial tool for accurately determining the relative density of granular soils. Designed for use with our Relative Density Mold Sets, this gauge set measures the change in sample volume after densification, a key step in calculating the maximum and minimum index densities of soil.
The set is used to measure the distance from the top of the mold to the surface of the base plate after the soil sample has been compacted. This measurement is essential for computing the volume change accurately.
Key Features:
- Precision Measurement: The set includes a high-precision dial indicator with a 2in (50.8mm) range and fine 0.001in (0.025mm) graduations, ensuring accurate and repeatable readings.
- Secure Fit: A specially designed holder is included to securely position the dial indicator on the guide brackets of the relative density molds.
- Easy Calibration: For verifying measurement accuracy, the set comes with a 3 x 12 x 1/8in (76 x 305 x 3.2mm) metal calibration bar.
Compliance:
This equipment meets the requirements of the following standard test methods:
- ASTM D4253: Standard Test Methods for Maximum Index Density and Unit Weight of Soils Using a Vibratory Table
- ASTM D4254: Standard Test Methods for Minimum Index Density and Unit Weight of Soils and Calculation of Relative Density
