Used to determine the permeability of granular, gravel and sandy soils.

The specimen is formed in an acrylic permeability cell and water is passed through it from a constant level tank.

The permeability cell has pressure points at different levels which are connected to the manometer tubes fixed on a stand with graduated scale.

Two Constant Head Permeability Cells are available; ∅ 75 mm and ∅ 114 mm.

Constant head permeability cell ∅ 75 mm, with three pressure take-off points. Formed by an acrylic Plexiglas body held between two aluminum anodized end plates. Supplied with 2 pieces Perforated plates and 2 pieces No.100 screen.

Constant head permeability cell ∅ 114 mm, with six pressure take-off points and an additional six blanked-off pressure points. Formed by an acrylic Plexiglas body held between two aluminum anodized end plates. Supplied with 2 pieces Perforated plates and 2 pieces No.100 screen.

The Stand, comprising 3 pieces ∅ 6 mm x 1 m long Manometer Tubes of constant bore, graduated scale, Rubber Tube and Connectors.

Constant Level Tank, made from acrylic Plexiglas, wall mounting, is used to provide constant water level in the manometer tubes. The inlet, outlet and overflow pipes can be adjusted for height within the tank.

HR-S5800 Model, Supplied complete with Ø 75 mm Constant Head Permeability Cell, Stand with 3 pieces Manometer Tubes, Constant Level Tank, Rubber Tube and 1 m Steel Ruler.

This method, in the EN standard, covers the determination of the maximum dry density and water content of cohesionless materials when compacted using a vibrating table. Materials for which this method is applicable may contain up to 12% by mass fines (<0.063 mm). The maximum particle size of the materials to be tested is 80 mm. This method applies to mixtures to be used in road construction.

The ASTM, also specify that it is used for the determination of the relative density of cohesionless soil for which impact compaction will not produce a well-defined moisture-density relationship curve and where the maximum density of impact method will generally be less than by vibratory method.

The two versions: HR-S7500 Conforming to EN and HR-S7505 Conforming to ASTM are practical identical except for the 0.1 cu.ft. mould.

HR-S7500 Relative Density Test Set Supplied complete with 762×762 mm Vibrating Table (3600 rpm) which adjustable vibration magnitude, 14200 cm³ 0,5 cu.ft. Relative Density Mould Set (Mould, Circular surcharge weight with handle, Surcharge base plate with handle and detachable guide sleeve with clamp assembly) and Relative Density Gauge Set.

HR-S7505 Relative Density Test Set Supplied complete with 762×762 mm Vibrating Table (3600 rpm) which adjustable vibration magnitude, 0,1 cu.ft. and 0,5 cu.ft. Relative Density Mould Set (Mould, Circular surcharge weight with handle, Surcharge base plate with handle and detachable guide sleeve with clamp assembly) and Relative Density Gauge Set.

Relative Density Gauge Set is supplied with Analog displacement dial gauge (50 x 0.01 mm division, 0-100 scale) with holder and Metal calibration bar.

Relative Density Pouring Funnel Set is required for loose placement of 9.5mm and finer granular soils in the Mould Set. The Funnel Set includes two Ø152 x 305 mm metal cylinders, each with funnel and 152 mm long delivery spout attached to one end. Spouts are 25.4 mm and Ø 12.7mm. The pouring devices are mandatory according to ASTM D4253 and should be ordered separately.

• passing 600 micronandretained on 300 micron.
• passing No. 16 (1,18 mm) andretained on No.30 (600 mikron).

Used to determine the in-situ density of fine grained compacted soil.

Complete set consists of Sand Pouring Cylinder, Metal Tray with Centre Hole and Calibration Container.

The Sand Pouring Cylinder with shutter made of cast aluminum and accurately machined, The Calibration Container and Metal Tray are made of plated sheet steel.

The test set is available in three different sizes.

Automatic Soil Compactor is designed to compact Standard / Modified and CBR specimens, it ensures an extremely uniform compaction degree, granting reliable and repeatable test results.

The compactor is easy to use, friendly menu driven, of simple and practical maintenance.

Compactor is equipped with programmable digital counter which allows machine to stop at the preset numbers of blows. The height and weight of the rammer is adjustable to suit test requirements. Quality and high accuracy mechanical components grant very long life also under intensive utilizations.

The original lift system of the rammer can be selected at 305 or 457 mm, granting a correct and constant fall height. This automatic blow pattern ensures effective and equal compaction for each layer of soil by rotating the base table, so the mould, in equal steps and travelling the rammer across the mould.

The table rotates the mould in equal steps and the number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test by the digital counter. User defined blow number and in-out distribution is also available. A standard proctor / CBR switch, emergency stop and start push buttons are located beside the blow counter.

The rammer is circular faced. Rammer weight is adjustable to 2.5 kg or 4.5 kg according to reference standard. When compacting specimens in Standard Proctor moulds, the unit operates on a single radius and when compacting specimens in Modified Proctor or CBR moulds, the unit operates on inner and outer radius to obtain even compaction.

The machine is supplied with one rammer and must selected according to the desired Standard (ASTM or EN) (rammers are interchangeable).

The compactor is easy to use, friendly menu driven, of simple and practical maintenance.

Compactor is equipped with programmable digital counter which allows machine to stop at the preset numbers of blows. The height and weight of the rammer is adjustable to suit test requirements. Top quality components and high accuracy mechanical workings grant very long life also under intensive utilizations.

The original lift system of the rammer can be selected at 300 mm, 305 mm, 450 mm or 457 mm, granting a correct and constant fall height. According to the standard used, rammer heads with a diameter of 50 mm or 50.8 mm can be attached to the circular rammer. (The rammer head diameters to be used must be specified at the time of order).

When compacting specimens in Standard Proctor moulds, the unit operates on a single radius and when compacting specimens in Modified Proctor or CBR moulds, the unit operates on inner and outer radius to obtain even compaction.

Mould selection, number of blows, count of the number of inner and outer drops can be selected as user defined, as well as 4 different programs defined in accordance with the standards from the digital screen mounted on the side of the device.

Noise Reduction Cabinet is available as optional and should be ordered separately.
