Using the new consolidation apparatus, contractors and laboratory technicians can conduct an expansion test on a cured soil specimen in 24 hours or less. The apparatus is designed to control all of the variables that inuence the expansive characteristics of a particular soil while still performing a practical test for general engineering use. The unit consists of a cast aluminum base and collar, stainless steel specimen ring, porous stones, dial indicator, and a 12.6 lb. (5.7 kg) loading weight.
Soil Volume Change Meter

Measures both shrinkage and swelling of soils. Ideal for measuring swelling of clay soils. Fast and easy to operate.
The Soil Volume Change Meter (PVC) is used to evaluate potentially dangerous swelling or shrinking conditions existing in some clay soils used in residential and commercial developments. The device was originally developed by the Federal Housing Administration after considerable research to provide satisfactory background laboratory testing data, a summarization of mechanisms causing volume change in soils and the factors inuencing these changes. PVC refers to the maximum possible volume change that a soil could undergo when subjected to changing moisture conditions. The unit is supplied complete with a 1,000 lb. (4.5 kN) capacity proving ring and compaction hammer.

Unconfined Compression Tester, Hand Operated

Lightweight design for laboratory and field use. Supplied complete and ready to operate.
The unconfined compression test is an important method of determining shear strength of cohesive and semi-cohesive soils.The test is widely used to supply information needed for the design and construction of civil engineering structures of many kinds, such as buildings, bridges, dams, and embankments. Test loads are applied to the specimen through a gearing arrangement located in the totally enclosed base.The gear train is actuated by a two-piece aluminum hand crank.The rate of strain can be regulated during the test by turning the hand crank at the desired rate. Loads are indicated on a proving ring and dial indicator assembly. Readings on the dial are converted to the load applied to the specimen by using the calibration charts supplied with each unit.

Pre-set blow pattern ensures even compaction. Solid state controls for reliability and ease of maintenance. Automatic counter reset after completion of blow pattern.
The time and effort required to prepare specimens for compaction studies and other test methods can often be costly and time consuming.The ELE Compactor automatically compacts soil specimens, thereby eliminating the laborious hand compaction method.The height and weight of the hammer is adjustable to suit test requirements. An automatic blow pattern ensures optimum compaction for each layer of soil. The hammer itself travels across the mold and the table rotates the mold in equal steps on a base that is extremely stable.The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test by means of the simple digital counter system.

The Speedy 2000 moisture testing kit which combines the most popular and versatile Speedy model with an electronic balance and a heavy-duty plastic case. The waterproof and durable case offers the highest level of protection. A foam insert secures the contents of the kit: the large Speedy body, electronic balance, beaker, cleaning cloth, cap, washer, scoop, steel pulverizing balls, and cleaning brushes.The electronic balance has an easy-to-read LCD display.With a range from 0 - 7oz (0 - 200g), the balance is simple to use, accurate, and repeatable. The Speedy moisture tester determines the moisture content of a broad range of materials. A small sample of the material to be tested is weighed on the balance and then placed in the hand held vessel. A measure of calcium carbide reagent is then added and the vessel sealed.The reagent reacts with the free moisture in the sample to produce acetylene gas, resulting in an increase in pressure within the vessel.The % moisture content of the sample is then read directly from the calibrated pressure gauge.
The Digital Soil Moisture Meter is designed to measure the resistance of the soil block in ohms.The test reading is converted to a corresponding reading between 0 and 100 on an empirical scale and displayed on the meter.This empirical range covers the soil suction range of 0.2 to 15 bars.The moisture content for different types of soils corresponding to the meter reading can be determined, using the calibration graphs provided.
