-Static Cone Penetrometer

Again a soil testing machine best for foundation. This is basically used for the places where strata is soft compressible, sand or gravel and sea beds etc. It is designed in Three capacities 30kN and 100kN., 200kN. The higher range is used for reaching greater depths.

-Swell Test Apparatus

Due to different properties of soils, like black cotton soil which has swelling pressure from 1kg/cm2 to 3.5kg/cm2, these soils lose their shear strength considerably when they are wet. To have projects of railways, highways, roads, building etc., on such kind of soils, determination of their swell pressure is essential.

-Triaxial Test Outfits

This comprises load frame, triaxial cell, proving ring, constant pressure system etc. It requires specimen dia of 38mm and 50mm.

-Standard Penetration Test Set

Standard Penetration tool is to measure the penetration resistance for designing the foundations. SPT is widely used to check the strength of soil to assess its resistance against liquification due to earth vibrations or earthquakes.

-Vane Shear Apparatus

This method is performed to take the specimen from the soil where sampling tubes cause problem. Its validity is proved where soils have shear strength in order of 15kN/m2 or less. This test asks complete care and skill of operator.

-Thin Wall Samplers

Used to pick the samples of soils and sand.

-Triaxial Cell, Stationary Bushing

Triaxial Cells are used with soil shear strength testing. They are used in Cell Presure, Pore Water Pressure and drainage of back pressure tests.

-Split Spoon Sampler

This is used for standard penetration test set. These are available in two types, with and without liner. The both are alike but with liner has a brass lining in which sample is collected.
