Soil testing lab equipment list.

2 pieces soil hydrometer from 0 995 to. Consolidation and permeability united apparatus 21. Electric strain direct shear testing apparatus 19. Soil core sampling kits capture soil samples for lab testing.

Soil compaction equipment for tests such as the proctor both standard astm d698 or aashto t99 and modified astm d1557 and aashto t180 variants. Geotechnical testing equipment is used to determine grain size moisture content and strengths at varying moisture contents. Soil testing lab equipment used for determining the particle size distribution of very fine materials such as silt and clay. Field cbr test set 24.

Soil gas vapor probe kits take gas and vapor samples form soil. Field loading plate test apparatus 25. Proctor testing was developed in the early 1930s and has been used extensively to determine the relationship of moisture and density in compacted cohesive soils. Other tests are run to measure the permeability of water or fluids in soils or to provide controls for compaction of engineered fills.

Soil testers are used for measuring soil fertility and chemical content. Triaxial test set 22. Four bladed vane shear testing apparatus 20. Soil grinders are used in place of a soil mortar and pestle to prepare soil samples to designated particle size.
