About Field Density Test Apparatus - App Core Cutter Method

Applications:

This is used for determination of in situ dry density of natural or compacted fine grained soil, free from aggregates. A cylindrical cutter is used to extract a sample of the soil with the help of a dolly and rammer. From the weight, density and the moisture, the dry density of the soil is readily calculated.

Details:

Complete with core cutter of 100mm dia x 130mm long with chromium plating, Dolly for 100mm dia core cutter, and rammer with steel rod.

Dependable Soil Field Density Measurement

Designed for precise determination of field soil density, this apparatus employs the core cutter method as per IS: 2720 (Part 29). Its rugged construction, bevel-edged cutting tool, and comprehensive accessories make it ideal for use on construction sites, road projects, and geotechnical studies where accurate field density data is essential.

Robust and User-Friendly Design

Manufactured from durable mild steel or stainless steel, this apparatus combines strength with longevity. The manual operation ensures reliable results without the need for electrical power, while the powder-coated or polished finish adds to its resistance against corrosion and wear in tough field conditions.

Complete Kit for Effortless Testing

The apparatus package includes all necessary accessories for efficient fieldworksteel dolly, rammer, and excavating toolspacked securely in a box. Designed for handheld/manual placement, every component is engineered for ease of use and portability, making field testing procedures straightforward and user-friendly.

FAQs of Field Density Test Apparatus - App Core Cutter Method:

Q: How do you use the Field Density Test Apparatus (Core Cutter Method) to determine in-situ soil density?

A: To determine in-situ soil density, place the core cutter vertically on the ground using the steel dolly and gently drive it into the soil with the included rammer until it is fully embedded. Carefully excavate and remove the cutter containing the soil core. The soil sample is then weighed, and its volume is calculated based on the cutters dimensions, allowing the bulk density of the soil to be determined.

Q: What type of soil conditions and applications is this apparatus suitable for?

A: The Field Density Test Apparatus is best suited for cohesive and fine-grained soils. It is commonly used in construction, geotechnical investigations, quality control for road works, earthworks, and any application where precise field density measurements are required as per IS: 2720 (Part 29) standards.

Q: When should the core cutter method be preferred for soil density testing?

A: The core cutter method is preferred when undisturbed, representative soil samples are needed from the fieldespecially in cohesive soils. It is typically utilized during site assessments, earthwork evaluations, compaction control, and whenever accurate, direct measurement of field soil density is critical for compliance with engineering standards.

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

A: This apparatus is designed for outdoor field use on construction sites, roadways, embankments, test pits, and any project site requiring rapid and accurate field density measurements. Its portability and manual operation make it adaptable to remote locations without the need for power sources.

Q: What is the process of preparing and maintaining the apparatus for accurate results?

A: Before each use, inspect the core cutter and accessories for cleanliness and structural integrity. Ensure the cutters edge is sharp and free from deformations. After testing, clean all components, particularly the cutter and dolly, and store them in the provided box. Regular maintenance extends the apparatuss lifespan and preserves test precision.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this field density tester?

A: Key benefits include robust construction for field durability, the ability to obtain immediate results without power, compliance with IS standards, and an included accessory kit for a complete testing process. The apparatus ensures accurate, direct soil density measurements essential for precise engineering analysis and quality control.
