FAQ's of Density Basket:
Q: How do I use the Density Basket for relative density testing?
A: To use the density basket, place the aggregate specimen inside the basket, then immerse it in water as per IS: 2386 (Part III) protocol. The basket, compatible with laboratory balances, allows for precise weight measurement needed to calculate the specimen's relative density.
Q: What materials can be tested using this density basket?
A: This basket is suitable for testing aggregates, sand, soil, and other minerals that fit the specimen size defined by IS: 2386 standards. With a capacity of around 3 liters, it accommodates a variety of aggregate types commonly used in construction and laboratory research.
Q: When is this density basket typically used in laboratories?
A: It is often used during quality assurance or routine material testing, especially when determining the density of aggregates for construction, civil engineering, and geotechnical investigations. Experiments are conducted both in laboratories and at field sites.
Q: Where can the density basket be purchased in India?
A: The density basket is available through dealers, distributors, exporters, fabricators, manufacturers, producers, retailers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers throughout India. Many laboratory equipment suppliers also offer direct sales and after-sales support.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the density basket?
A: After each use, rinse the stainless steel basket with clean water to remove residues. Dry it thoroughly to retain its polished finish and prevent corrosion. Routine checks on the mesh and handle are recommended to ensure ongoing measurement accuracy.
Q: How does the design benefit laboratory and field testing applications?
A: The sturdy construction and portable design ensure the basket stands up to frequent handling and is easy to move between test stations or field sites.
