FAQs of Field Density Test Apparatus:

Q: How is the Field Density Test Apparatus used in soil testing?

A: The apparatus is used to determine the in-situ density of fine-grained compacted soils. The sand pouring cylinder is filled with calibrated sand, which is poured into a test pit through a conical funnel. The volume of sand displaced is measured using the graduations on the cylinder, and this is used to calculate the bulk density of the soil.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using this apparatus in the field?

A: Key benefits include high measurement accuracy (1%), portability for on-site testing, robust construction with corrosion resistance, and the ability to test bulk densities up to 30 kN/m. The manual operation eliminates the need for electricity, making it suitable in remote or outdoor environments.

Q: When should a Field Density Test Apparatus be employed?

A: It is typically used during construction or geotechnical projects to ensure that compacted soil meets required density specifications. Employ the device whenever you need to check the compaction quality of fine-grained soils during roadworks, foundations, or embankment construction.

Q: Where can the Field Density Test Apparatus be used effectively?

A: The device is suitable for both laboratory and field settings. Its durability and compact design allow for effective use in a variety of environments, especially on construction sites requiring in-situ soil density verification.

Q: What is the process to perform a field density test using this apparatus?

A: First, excavate a test pit and collect the removed soil. Weigh the soil, then use the sand pouring cylinder to fill the pit and measure the sand volume used. The bulk density is determined by dividing the mass of the excavated soil by the volume of sand poured into the pit.

Q: What accessories are supplied with the apparatus?

A: The apparatus is supplied with a conical pouring funnel, interchangeable base plates (200 mm and 250 mm diameter), a calibration container with known volume (1 liter or as specified), and an optional carrying case for easy transportation.
