Soil Testing Lab Equipment

Direct Shear Apparatus (Hand Operated): For determination the direct shear strength of soils on specimen size 60 mm x 60 mm x 25 mm.

Specifications : The apparatus comprises of the following:

Loading Unit : Supplied with load yoke with direct and lever system for applying load. Normal stress capacity 8 kg/sq.cm. Load is applied either directly or through a counter balanced detachable lever. Provision is made for the load to be applied either through a steel ball recessed in the loading pad or direct through a boss on the pre calibrated loading yoke, the loading unit is provided with V strips and roller strips for frictionless movement of shear box housing.

Shear Box Assembly :Comprising Direct Shear box in two halves for a square specimen size 60 x 60 x 25 mm one pair of plain gripper plates, one pair of perforated gripper plates, one pair of porous stones, one top loading pad. Shear box housing: Accommodates the Direct Shear Box assembly. Complete with two ball roller strips.

• Specimen Cutter: For cutting 60 x 60 x 25 mm specimen from larger samples.


• Set of weights to give a normal stress of 3 kg/sq.cm. through lever as follows:

Salient Features

• Essential Accessories : High sensitivity compression proving ring cap 200 kg One Consolidation dia gauge 0.01 mm x 25 mm and one strain dial gauage 0.01 mm x 25 mm and one strain dial gaine 0.01mm x 25 mm.


• Optional Extras : Additional set of weights to give a normal stress of 5 kg/cm2. Soil Sampler for 60 mm x 60 mm specimen and test form pad of 50. Spares: Porous stone for 60 mm x 60 mm size sample available in pairs.

Features : It consists of a brass cup held on an adjustable bracket. The cup can be adjusted for a fall of 1 cm and can be raised and dropped on a rubber base of standard hardness by cam action. Complete with one casegrande grooving tool, one ASTM Grooving tool and a heigh gauge block (Type A of IS 9259)

Features:

• User-friendly


• Longer service life


• High performance

One of the primary functions of a drilling fluid is to carry drilled solids from the well bore. These solids are a contaminant, and if left in the system, can lead to numerous problems. The ofite sand content kit determines the volume percent of sand-sized particles in the drilling fluid. Api defines sand-sized particles as any material larger than 74 µm (200-mesh) in size. The test can be performed on low solids fluids as well as on weighted fluids. The kit consists of a glass tube graduated to read percent (%) by volume, a funnel, and a 200-mesh sieve contained in a cylindrical shaped holder. Consists of sand content kit, complete, with sieve, funnel, graduated tube, wash bottle & carrying case.

Features:

• Api Defines Sand-Sized Particles As Any Material Larger Than 74 µm (200-Mesh) In Size


• The Kit Consists Of A Glass Tube Graduated To Read Percent (%) By Volume, A Funnel, and A 200-Mesh Sieve Contained In A Cylindrical Shaped Holder

This can be used in drilling operations to increase the footage & improve jab safety consist of three metal pipe legs approximately 5 mtr. long connected by a tie bolt each leg is made up of two parts for ease of transportation complete with one pulley one leg has building ladder Standard Penetration Test is a powerful tool for measuring the penetration resistance of the ground and for relating it to the degree of compactness of cohesionless soil and consistency of cohesive soil. The results can be used for design of foundations. SPT is widely used for measuring the undisturbed strength of the soil and for assessing its resistance to liquefaction due to ground vibrations caused by earthquakes or other dynamic forces. The Standard Penetration Resistance is measured as the number of blows ‘N’ required to drive.

The apparatus consists one each of compaction mould gun metal/ M.S., 100 mm i. D. X 127. 3 mm height x 1000 cc. Volume, complete with collar and base plate. Rammer 2. 6 kg x 310 mm controlled fall.
