Robust Design and ConstructionCrafted from heavy gauge steel and chrome-plated or stainless steel, the Relative Density Apparatus offers superior durability and corrosion resistance. Its bench-top mounting and compact size allow for convenient laboratory installation, while detachable components facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.
Precise Measurement and ComplianceThe apparatus measures relative density accurately within the range of 0.5 to 2.5, meeting IS: 2720 (Part XIV), ASTM D4254, and ASTM D4253 standards. The analog graduated scale displays readings with 0.01 resolution, supporting precise analysis and ensuring standard compliance for soil investigations.
Efficient and Safe OperationOperated manually, the apparatus requires a standard 230 V AC, 50 Hz power supply. Its ergonomic accessories and box-packed delivery with protective cushioning support safe transport and handling. Designed for quick setup, it accommodates one or two specimens, conforming to standard soil sample sizes.
FAQs of Relative Density Apparatus:
Q: How is the Relative Density Apparatus used in laboratory settings?
A: The Relative Density Apparatus is used to determine the relative density of granular soils by following specified procedures outlined in IS: 2720 (Part XIV), ASTM D4254, or ASTM D4253. Soil specimens are placed in the glass cylinder, and accessories like the tamping rod and straight edge are utilized for sample preparation and measurement. The analog scale provides instantaneous readings during the manual operation.
Q: What materials make up the jar and cylinder of the apparatus?
A: The jar is manufactured from heavy gauge steel with either chrome plating or stainless steel, ensuring enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The glass cylinder has a standard capacity of 1 liter, but custom sizes are available to meet specific test requirements.
Q: What standards does the Relative Density Apparatus comply with?
A: This apparatus adheres to IS: 2720 (Part XIV) and international ASTM standards D4254 and D4253, ensuring precise and standardized evaluation of soil relative density for laboratory research and construction quality control.
Q: When should the Relative Density Apparatus be used?
A: The apparatus should be employed when assessing the maximum and minimum densities of granular soil specimens, especially during quality control tests in geotechnical laboratories and construction material analysis. Usage is recommended within 10C to 40C ambient temperature and 0-95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
Q: Where is the apparatus typically installed and operated?
A: It is designed for bench-top mounting, making it suitable for laboratory environments in universities, research centers, and industrial testing facilities. Its box-packed format with protective cushioning ensures safe transport and installation across India.
Q: What is the testing process with this apparatus?
A: Soil samples are weighed and prepared using the provided accessories, then placed into the glass cylinder. The operator manually adjusts the specimen as per the specified test protocol. Measurements are taken using the analog graduated scale, achieving 1% accuracy with a resolution of 0.01 in the relative density range of 0.5 to 2.5.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus?
A: Key benefits include accurate, rapid measurements of granular soil density, compliance with stringent standards, robust construction for longevity, corrosion-resistant metal parts, and ease of cleaning through detachable components. Its manual control and compact design offer reliable laboratory performance and convenient handling.
