About This Product
Soil is compacted into the specimen ring with the compaction hammer and the proving ring dial is read during the test; charts provided with the meter turn that reading into pounds per square foot and then into a potential volume change rating. Only about 10 teaspoons of soil and 140 g of water are called for. Educational Lab Equipments can supply and export the Soil Volume Change Meter to Mozambique, Turkey, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Poland and Lesotho.
