Laboratory Sample Splitter: Aggregate Sample Dividers
Aggregate Sampling
Aggregate sampling is used in many industries such as construction, mining and materials research. The goal of aggregate sampling is to get a representative sample being tested which is crucial for the accuracy and reliability of the results. In this section we will introduce the concept of aggregate sampling and its importance in getting a representative sample.
In construction industry for example, aggregate sampling is used to test the properties of materials such as sand, gravel and crushed stone. These materials are used in production of concrete, asphalt and other construction materials and their properties can impact the quality and durability of the final product. By getting a representative sample of these materials you can ensure they meet the required standards and specifications, using tools like soil augers. Additionally, understanding soil compaction is crucial in both construction and agriculture to ensure the stability of foundations and optimize plant growth. For agricultural applications, a compaction tester for soil can be an essential tool to measure and enhance soil conditions.
Splitters and Dividers
In the world of laboratory testing and analysis, accuracy and speed is key. That’s where sample splitters and dividers come in. This section includes various tools and equipment to make dividing and splitting samples easier, with more accurate results and time savings. Accurately splitting small samples is critical in ensuring the test results are representative of the larger stockpile being tested. Several sample splitters to choose from for different applications and sample sizes.
One of the most popular in this section is the QuarterMaster Hot Asphalt Mix Sample Splitter. Designed for hot asphalt mix samples, this splitter splits samples into quarter-sized portions quickly and efficiently, much like the Mobile Cement Mixer, 10 Gallon with 1 HP Motor. Durable and innovative, it’s perfect for construction projects and asphalt testing labs.
Another popular product in this section is the Gilson SP-0 Universal Sample Splitter. It’s a versatile tool that can be used with various sample types and sizes. With adjustable chute width and feed hopper height you can control the flow and division of samples for accuracy and consistency. For effective particle separation, consider the Gilson SS-15D Economy Digital Sieve Shaker, which automates the shaking process with a digital countdown timer and adjustable modes.
For portable and on-site sampling the Gilson SP-2 Universal Porta-Splitter is the way to go. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to transport and set up for fieldwork and remote testing locations. High quality construction and precision splitting mechanism ensures reliable and representative sample division.
In addition to splitters, this section also includes various accessories and tools to aid in the sampling process. The Sample Quartering Cloth Kit is a method for quartering samples using the traditional cloth method. The Quartering Kit Square-Point Shovel and Quartering Kit Prolene Broom are the must haves for accurate and efficient sample division.
Sample Material Handling
Sample material handling is part of the sample preparation process. It involves handling and processing of samples to ensure they are representative of the original material. This includes:
-
Feed Hoppers: For feeding samples into the sample splitter, feed hoppers come in various sizes to fit different types of materials. They ensure a consistent flow of sample material which is critical for accurate and representative sample division.
-
Particle Sizes: Splitters can handle a wide range of particle sizes from fine powders to coarse aggregates. This versatility means no matter the material the sample splitter can give you a representative sample for analysis.
-
Material Flow: The sample splitter is critical to get accurate and representative samples. This is achieved through the use of vibratory feeders and other handling which control the distribution of materials during the splitting process. Proper flow is essential to maintain the integrity of the sample and get reliable results.
Applications and Resources
Use in many applications in various industries:
-
Laboratory Testing: In the laboratory splitters are used to get accurate measurements. Using small quantities is critical to ensure the test results are representative of the larger stockpile being tested. They simplify the preparation process so you can get precise and reliable results.
-
Analysis: Splitters are part of the analysis process by preparing for testing and analysis. This ensures the results are representative of the original aggregates and gives you valuable information about the material’s properties.
-
Construction: In the construction splitters are used to test the properties of aggregates. This is for quality control and to ensure they used in construction projects meet the required standards.
-
Mining: Mining uses splitters to test the properties of ores. This is to determine the quality and value of the mined and to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
