This instrument is designed for determining the bearing capacity of subgrades and for effective compaction control. It is also widely used for the rapid evaluation of soils during shallow exploration work.

Key Features:

• Robust Construction: Consists of a sturdy T-handle under which a highly sensitive proving ring is securely fixed.

• Precision Testing: An extension piece is attached to the bottom of the proving ring, carrying a detachable penetration cone at its tip.

• Accurate Readings: Equipped with a 100 kg (1 kN) capacity proving ring and a 0.002 mm dial gauge to accurately indicate the applied penetration load.

• Ease of Use: Features an optical viewer to facilitate easy reading of the dial gauge by the operator. Simplified for single-person operation.

• Complete Kit: Supplied with a calibration chart for the proving ring, all neatly packed in a durable wooden carrying case.

The extractor frame is used for taking out soil samples compacted or undisturbed,from 100mm dia and 150mm dia cylinders such as Core Cutters, Proctor moulds, C.B.R. moulds etc.

Features:

It consists of a hand operated, hydraulic jack mounted on a suitable frame.

Two plungers, one for 4”/100mm dia and the other of 6”/150mm dia moulds are supplied Height of thrust plate is adjustable.

Note:

Motorised model also available

A simple and robust instrument for rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of road pavements Provides fast and efficient method of obtaining information For continuous measurements up to a depth of 800 mm and 1,200 mm with the extension rod.Portable and can be accommodated in a carrying case A typical test takes only a few minutes and the instrument therefore, provides a very efficient method of obtaining information which would normally require test-pits. Correlations have been established between measurements with DCP and California Bearing Ration (CBR) so that the results can be interpreted and compared with CBR specifications for pavement design. Agreement is generally good over most of the range but differences are apparent at low values of CBR, especially for fine grained materials.It incorporates a 8 Kg weight dropping through a height of 575 mm and a 60 deg. cone having a diameter of 20 mm.It is supplied complete with assembly tools and weighs 20 Kg approx.The DCP needs three operators, one to hold the instrument, other to raise and drop the weight and a technician to record the results. The instrument is held vertically and the weight carefully raised to the handle limit and then allowed to fall onto the anvil. The equipment consist of the following replaceable parts, ZI 3026A Top and Bottom Rod ZI 3026B Handle ZI 3026C Hammer ZI 3026D 1m Scale ZI 3026E 60 deg. Cone ZI 3026F Anvil

We are the manufacturer of Permeability Apparatus (Falling Head Permeability). The apparatus is used for the laboratory determination of permeability of soil using a constant or a variable head. This test is recommended for soils with coefficient permeability. The maximum particle size of the soil which can be tested in the mould is 10mm.

We are the manufacturer of Sand Density Cone Apparatus. Used to determine the in-situ density of fine grained compacted soil. The test consist in digging a hole into the ground and then collect, dry and weight the sampled soil.The hole is then filled with dry sand from the cone container. The apparatus consist of a double metal cone,one plastic 5 lts jar a metal tray with centre hole.

Note:

On request 12” (305 mm) Sand Density Cone Apparatus is also supplied at an extra cost.
