FAQ's of Sand Pouring Cylinder - IS:
Q: How is the Sand Pouring Cylinder - IS used for determining the density of soil or sand in situ?
A: This cylinder is placed over a prepared hole in the soil, and the calibrated sand is poured into the hole using the equipment. The amount of sand required to fill the hole is measured and used to calculate the in-situ density, strictly following IS 2720 Part 28:1974 guidelines.
Q: What accessories are included with the Sand Pouring Cylinder - IS?
A: The equipment is supplied with a tray, calibrating container, and a sand container. These accessories help contain, measure, and pour sand precisely during soil density tests as per IS requirements.
Q: When should calibration be performed and is a calibration certificate provided?
A: Calibration should be checked periodically, especially before major testing projects or after prolonged storage. Calibration certificates are available on request, ensuring the accuracy and traceability of measurement results.
Q: Where can the Sand Pouring Cylinder - IS be used?
A: This instrument is designed for both laboratory and field applications. Its robust construction and portable design make it suitable for on-site soil density determination as well as controlled laboratory measurements.
Q: What advantages does manual operation offer for this sand pouring cylinder?
A: Manual operation allows for precise control over the testing process, immediate feedback, and eliminates reliance on power sources. This makes the device ideal for use in remote or varied environmental conditions.
Q: What is the benefit of the corrosion-resistant polished finish?
A: The polished, rust-resistant surface enhances the equipment's durability, ensuring that it performs reliably and maintains accuracy even when exposed to humid or harsh conditions common in fieldwork.
Q: How does the device ensure compliance with IS 2720 standards?
A: All aspects of the cylinder, from dimensional markings to measuring capacity and operating procedures, are manufactured and validated to match IS 2720 Part 28:1974 standards, guaranteeing standardized, recognized testing results.
