The Sand Cone Density Apparatus Set is a 1gal (3.8L) threaded plastic jar with a coe detachable double cone fitting, meets ASTM D1556 AASHTO T191 specifications. The metal top cone is threaded on one end, flanged to 6-1/2in (165mm) on the other, with a 1/2in (12.7mm) dia. orifice between ends. The brass cylindrical valve has stops to prevent rotating past completely open or completely closed positions. The flanged opening of the brass cylindrical valve accessory is designed to fit the H-4246 field density plate in the sand cone density apparatus test.
The sand cone test is an inexpensive method to determine in-place density of soils with maximum particle size up to 2in (51mm) using test hole volumes of about 0.1ft3 (2.8L). The sand cone density apparatus is accurate and reliable in the test hole volumes determination of sand cone density apparatus test.

Applications and Features of Sand Cone Density Apparatus
The Sand Cone Density Test Apparatus is a standard method in construction industry to measure density of materials. It is used to determine in-place density of soils, aggregate materials and coarse soils. It gives accurate and repeatable results. A valuable tool to ensure quality and performance of construction materials. Simple, low cost and easy to use. Geotechnical engineers, construction professionals and materials scientists need reliable density measurements.
How Sand Cone Density Test Works
The Sand Cone Density Apparatus determines density by measuring the volume of a known weight of sand that is compacted into a test hole. Test hole volumes are about 0.1 cu ft (2.8L) and can accommodate maximum particle size up to 2in (51mm). The sand cone density apparatus is designed to give accurate and repeatable results. Density is calculated by weight / volume. Sand Cone Density Apparatus is a simple and low cost method to determine density. Widely used in geotechnical engineering, construction and materials science.
