Bulk Density Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-CL-11886
Quick Answer: The Bulk Density Kit is a soil core sampler that extracts intact cores 57 mm (2.25 in) in diameter into brass cylinders of known volume. From those cores the bulk density and the water-holding characteristics of the soil can be found.

Key Features
Takes intact 57 mm diameter soil cores held in brass cylinders.
Five brass cylinders: one 60 mm, two 30 mm and two 10 mm long.
Two wedge coring tips, with spanner and strap wrench for changing them.
Driving hammer and core extractor.
Six cylinder caps.
Cylinders transfer directly to a pressure plate extractor.
Because each brass cylinder has a known volume, the core it holds can be used to determine the soil's bulk density. The same cylinder, still holding its sample, can go into a pressure plate extractor or a similar cell apparatus to study how the soil retains water.
