S 29-11
Sand density cone apparatus
dia. 6.5" (165,1mm)
STANDARD: ASTM D1556/AASHTO T191

Used to determine the in-situ density of fine graned compacted soil.
The test consists in digging a hole into the ground and then collect,
dry and weight the sampled soil. The hole is than filled with dry
sand from the cone container.
The apparatus consists of:
S 29-12 Metal double cone assembly with valve
S 29-13 Metal base with centre hole
S 29-14 N* 2 Plastic jar, 5 litres
Galvanized against corrosion.
Dimension: 305x305x600mm
Weight: 6kg
