Texture, or size distribution of mineral particles (or its associated pore volume), is one of the most important measures of a soil because finely divided soil particles have much greater surface area per unit mass or volume than do coarse particles. Thus, a small amount of fine clay and silt will be much more important in chemical reactions, release of nutrient elements, retention of soil moisture, etc., than a large volume of coarse gravel or sand.

Measuring Soil Texture Test Set is supplied with High Speed Stirrer,-5 to 60 g/l range 152 H Hydrometer,Bouyoucos Cylinder, 1205 ml and Stainless Steel Stirring Rod.

High Speed Stirrer operates at over 10,000 rpm, includes dispersion cup, stirring paddle, automatic switch-on by positioning bowl.

38 mm Hand Operated Hydraulic Sample Extruder with Trimming Knife, 38mm Split Former & Cutting Tool comprises a vertically mounted lever action hydraulic jack, with the body extended to form a chamber which accommodates a 38 mm diameter sample tube.

Supplied complete with Trimming Knife, 38mm Split Former, Wire Saw and 12 pieces Wire.

The Motorized Hydraulic Extruder is used for quick and smooth extrusion of soil specimens from 38 mm to 160 mm tubes and also Proctor, CBR and Marshall Moulds.

The Extruder has 60 kN capacity and 70 cm ram travel.

Specimens with different sizes can be safely collected after extrusion with the help of the adjustable V shaped sample receiving table. This V table can easily be dismounted for space saving. The hydraulic piston can be stopped at any position during the extraction.

Adaptors with different sizes should be ordered separately if required.

The Motorized Hydraulic Extruder is supplied complete with Adaptors for Ø100 mm(4”) and Ø150 mm(6”) moulds.

Ø 38 mm, Ø 50 mm and Ø 70 mm Adaptors (ring and tamper) should be ordered separately.

Used to extrude samples having dia. 4”, 6”, 100 mm and 150 mm. It can therefore extrude CBR, Marshall and Proctor specimens. 

The extruder is actuated by a 50 kN hydraulic jack, having ram travel of 130 mm + 90 mm screw.

Supplied complete with 2 pieces adaptors for 4”, 6”, 100 mm and 150 mm samples.

The Pocket Penetrometer was originally developed for use by field personnel in checking visual classification of soils. Data was compiled on several thousand unconfined compressive strength tests of silty clays and clayey soils against the penetrometer readings to develop the scale.

• Direct-reading scale in tons/sq. ft. and kg/sq. cm.

• Ground and polished stainless steel loading piston.

• Calibrated spring and penetrometer body plated for rust resistance and long life.

• Convenient belt-loop style carrying case.

• Optional Adapter Foot for testing very soft materials.

Used to determine in field the moisture-penetration resistance relationship of fine grained soils. Spring load scale 0-55 Kg, in 1 kg subdivisions, with direct maximum value reading in Kg. on the sliding rod.

Complete with 9 interchangeable stainless steel needles Ø 4,52- 5,23 – 6,40 – 9,07 – 12,83 – 16,54 – 20, 22 – 24,79 – 28,55 mm, accessories, carrying case.

This portable hand operated apparatus is used for the rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavements constructed with unbound materials.The DPC Penetrometer results can be compared and interpreted with CBR (California Bearing Ratio) as per sperimentalKleyn 1982 studies.

Continuous measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 800 mm or, when extension shafts are used, to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m.
