The liquid limit device as a soil test equipment is defined as the moisture content at which the soil passes from plastic state to liquid state; it is very helpful in the classification of the potential properties of the soil material. The liquid limit device consists of a hard rubber base carrying a sliding carriage assembly to which a brass cup is hinged. The cup is raised and allowed to fall through a height of 1cm on to the hard rubber base, by the help of a lead screw provided at the back of the sliding carriage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Liquid Limit (Electrically Operated)
5.Speedy Moisture Meter  QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V) Specification : Moisture content of soil is generally measured as a ratio of the weight of water to the weight of solids, expressed in percentage. As soil behavior depends on its moisture content, it is one of the basic parameters defining the soil condition. The ‘Moisture’ a content of soil, can be obtained quickly with reasonable accuracy by using a Speedy Moisture Meter. The test technique is based on the fact that water will react with calcium carbide to form acetylene gas. The quantity of acetylene gas produced is indicated on a built- in pressure gauge. A conversation formula gives the corresponding moisture content based on dry weight. Each soil test equipment is supplied complete in a wooden carrying case consisting of pressure vessel with clamp for sealing cap, rubber sealing gasket, pressure gauge in percentage moisture content 0-25% or 0-50% on the wet weight basis (6 gm) counter poised balance for weighing samples, scoop for measuring calcium carbide, bottle of calcium carbide (500gm), a set of 4 steel balls and a cleaning brush. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.Soil Cone Penetrometer  QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-V) Specification : Cone Penetration Test of Soil is based on the relationship between moisture content and the penetration of the cone into the soil sample. The moisture content at a given depth of penetration of the cone is taken as the liquid limit. The Automatic Penetrometer (Digital Timer) is supplied complete with a stainless steel penetration test cone 35mm long with a smooth polished surface and an angle of 30° and a Penetration test cup 55mm dia x 40mm deep. Facility exists for adjusting cone height in relation to the specimen The apparatus is suitable for operation on 220V, Single Phase, 50Hz, AC Supply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.Sand Pouring Cylinder  Specification : The soil testing equipment is used for determination of the dry density of compact, fine, medium grained soils and for layers not exceeding 50cm thickness. A circular hole is dug into the ground, all the soil from within it collected, weighed and dried, and the hole back filled with a standard uniform sand or fine gravel, poured from a calibrated container for calculating the volume of hole. The complete apparatus consists of a Sand Pouring Cylinder fitted with Conical funnel and Shutter, Cylindrical Calibration Container, and a Metal tray with a central hole
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9.Proctor Compaction Test Apparatus  Specification : Soil compaction is of utmost requirement for constructing earth fill for dams, canal embankments, reservoirs, highways, runways and railways. The relationship between soil moisture content and compacted dry density largely determine the construction specifications and quality control of compacted earthfill. To check the strength of the soil the density of the soil is taken into account and hence the quality control is checked otherwise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soil Test Apparatus Driven by high end engineering we provide sophisticated Soil Test Apparatus for soil testing. Our Test Apparatus are the benchmark of ultimate machines that can do the tasks at ease and with efficiencies. Our apparatus for soil testing are easy to install and operate and can finish the assigned tasks at the minimal alloted time. Our soil test apparatus consume lesser energy and includes Direct Shear Test Apparatus, Unconfined Compression Test Apparatus and Lab CBR Test Apparatus. 1.Direct Shear Test Apparatus  QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-XIII) Specification: The Direct Shear test apparatus consist of a square or circular box divided into two halves. The specimen, contained in the box, is subjected to a constant normal load while an increasing horizontal force is applied to one of the sections of the shear box. This force causes a shear failure along the juncture between the box sections of this. The shear force and the normal load are measured directly. The rate of strain is adjusted by the speed of the horizontal force applied. The loading unit has V-strips on which the shear box housing rests. The load yoke in these direct shear test apparatus helps counter balance the loading system. The lead screw connected to the shear box housing helps application of shear stress. Direct Shear Test Apparatus comprises of Direct Shear Box assembly for 60mm x 60mm x 25mm thick specimen, Shear Box Housing, Specimen cutter, Loading Unit with a capacity of 8kg/cm2, set of weights to give normal stress of 3kg/cm2, Proving Ring duly calibrated by Nccbm (Govt) of 2.5kN (250kgf) capacity & 2 (Two) Dial Gauges 0.01mm x 25mm travel. The load yoke with direct and through level system for applying normal load upto 8 kg/cm2 capacity, fixtures for proving ring, brackets for holding consolidation and strain dial gauges are also provided in these direct shear test apparatus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Unconfined Compression Test Apparatus  QUALITY STANDARD : As Per IS 2720 (P-X) Specification : The unconfined compression test apparatus for soil includes uniaxial compression test in which the test specimen is provided with no lateral support while undergoing vertical compression. The test measures the unconfined compression strength of a cylinder of cohesive or semi cohesive soil and indirectly shearing strength. The shearing strength of the soil is generally taken to be one half of the unconfined compression strength. The unconfined compression test apparatus is used normally on a undisturbed sample with its natural moisture content. It may also be performed on remolded samples to evaluate the consequences of disturbances and remolding. Unconfined Compression Test Apparatus is normally useful in soil mechanics laboratories. The unconfined compression test is the simplest and quickest method for evaluation of the shear strength of cohesive soil in the laboratory or in the field. The results from compression test apparatus are widely used in ascertaining the relative consistency and sensitivity for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity. The apparatus consists of following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Lab CBR Test Apparatus  Specification : The CBR test apparatus used to determine the relative bearing ratio and expansion characteristics under known surcharge weights of base, sub-base and sub grade soils for the design of roads, pavements and runways. Tests can be conducted on all types of soils including sand, gravel and washed stone (passing through 20mm IS Sieve). The CBR test apparatus is used extensively in selection of materials and control of subgrades. The Procedure consists of loading soil with a circular piston, 50mm dia face and maintaining a penetration rate of 1.25mm/min. Lab CBR Test Apparatus consists of a CBR Load Frame 50kN (5 Tons) capacity As Per IS 2720 (P-xvi), CBR mould complete with collar & base plate, Swell stand for holding dial gauge (made of aluminum), CBR plunger with penetration dial gauge holder, Surcharge weight with central hole of 2.5 kg, Slotted weight of 2.5kg, Spacer disc with handle, Perforated Brass swell plate with adjustable cap handle, Proving Ring duly calibrated by Nccbm (Govt Testing Lab), and a Dial Gauge 0.01mm x 25mm travel-
