Sun LabTek - Model LBT-028 -Sand Pouring Cylinder for Soil Density Testing
The Sand Pouring Cylinder from Sun LabTek is a specialized tool designed to determine the dry density of compact, fine, and medium-grained soil layers up to 50 cm thick. This procedure involves creating a circular hole in the ground where the excavated soil is collected, dried, and weighed. Subsequently, the volume of the hole is calculated by filling it with a standard, uniformly graded sand using the Sand Pouring Cylinder. This essential apparatus comprises a Sand Pouring Cylinder equipped with a conical funnel and shutter, a cylindrical calibration container, and a metal tray featuring a central hole. Such equipment is indispensable in civil engineering laboratories to ensure precise soil density measurements that adhere to IS 2720 (P-XXVIII) standards, aiding efficient soil compaction and stability analyses.
The Sand Pouring Cylinder is used for determination of the dry density of compact, fine, medium grained soils and for layers not exceeding 50cm thickness. A circular hole is dug into the ground, all the soil from within it collected, weighed and dried and the whole back filled with a standard uniform sand or fine gravel poured from a calibrated container for calculating the volume of the hole. The complete apparatus consists of a Sand Pouring Cylinder fitted with Conical funnel and Shutter, Cylindrical Calibration Container, and a Metal tray with a central hole
