Sand Cone Set (T-061) – Alfa Test

Used to determine the in-situ density of the fine grain compacted soil. The test consists of making a hole in the compacted soil layer, filling it with known-density soil sample from the container (plastic jar/sand pouring cylinder), then measuring the soil weight along with the water content.

Contains a sand cone and a base plate that has an opening designed for the cone to sit into. The set also contains a container (plastic jar/sand pouring cylinder) to be used during the test.

Gilson Sand Cone Density Apparatus

Sand Cone Density Apparatus (6.5in)

The sand cone density test is an accepted and inexpensive method of determining in-place density of soils. Effective in soils with particle sizes up to 2in (51mm), using test hole volumes of approximately 0.1ft3 (2.8L).

HM-100 Sand Cone Density Apparatus (6-1/2in) is a 1gal (3.8L) threaded plastic jar with detachable metal double cone fitting. The cone is threaded on one end, flanged to 6-1/2in (165mm) on the other, with a cylindrical valve of 1/2in (12.7mm) Dia. orifice between ends. Valve has stops to prevent rotating past completely open or closed positions. HM-102 Plastic Jar for Sand Cone Density Test is available as a replacement.
