How to choose soil testing equipment
- Shear strength: direct shear apparatus are listed in motorised twelve-speed and six-speed versions, with digital direct/residual shear, laboratory vane shear and triaxial shear apparatus; the triaxial cell takes 38 mm × 76 mm specimens.
- Moisture: the Rapid Moisture Meter is a pressure vessel with a clamped sealing cap and a 6 g capacity, while the infrared moisture meter and analyser work by loss on heating.
- Field tests: the Sand Pouring Cylinder and Sand Density Cone are for in-place density, the Split Spoon Sampler is for the Standard Penetration Test, and proctor needles come in spring and hydraulic types.
- Grain size: the Grain Size Analysis set uses the pipette method for sub-sieve particle distribution, and the Soil Hydrometer analyses grain size.
- Drilling fluids: the Marsh Cone finds the viscosity of bentonite slurry, and the Mud Balance finds the specific gravity of mud and similar liquids.
