Soil Test InstrumentsShrinkage Limit Apparatus
Shrinkage Limit is the maximum water content at which a reduction in water content does not cause an appreciable reduction in volume of the soil mass. At shrinkage limit, on further reduction in water, air enters into the voids of soils and thus keeps the volume constant. The apparatus can be used to determine shrinkage limit and to calculate other shrinkage factors like shrinkage ratio, shrinkage index and volumetric shrinkage. Salient Features Specifications : Set consists of one each :- 1. Porcelain evaporating Dish. 2. Shrinkage Dish 3. Glass Cup. 4. Perspex plate with three metal prongs 5. Perspex plate. 6. Flexible spatula 7. Glass cylinder 25ml x 0.5mlsupplied without mercury.

Static Cone Penetrometer Capacity
For reaching greater depths and to facilitate easy and constant rate of penetration 1 to 2.5cm/sec of the cone this engine-driven Static Cone Penetrometer of 100 KN (10,000 Kgf) capacity is preferable. The equipment consists of a hydraulic pump driven by a Diesel Engine. The whole system is mounted on a tow able trolley fitted with pneumatic wheels. The pumping unit and ram are connected by means of flexible pipes through a direction control valve. The hydraulic ram moves on a two pillar stand mounted on a trolley 1.Penetration Cone, steel 60 cone angle, 10cm2 base area, with friction jacket One 2.

Static Cone Penetrometer, 30KN (300KGF) Capacity
The drive is by means of a rack and pinion manually through a gearing arrangement. The gear box and pinion are fixed on two handles, sprockets and chain arrangement. The movement of the rack is guided by a bracket ( attached to the rack) and two pillars. The penetration resistance i.e. the pressure is indicated on hydraulic gauges through a hydraulic measuring head. Two pressure gauges of 15cm dia dial and 2 capacities 0-160kg/cm are provided. An automatic cut-off valve, to protect the low capacity gauge from being overloaded is provided. The 2 valve can be adjusted and locked at desirable values between 20 to 60cm . A provision is made to anchor the unit to the ground (with the help of four anchors supplied with the unit) and there is a provision for lateral 2 movement of the unit so that subsequent tests could be performed without shifting the entire anchorage. A 10cm penetration cone with friction jacket is provided along with fifteen mantle tubes (non-uniform having an effective length of 1 m each with sounding rods for finding out the cone (point) resistance or jacket friction
