FIELD DENSITY TEST BY SAND REPLACEMENT METHOD:-
Mass of pouring cylinder + sand, W1
1
( Before pouring in the hole ).
( gm ) 6475
Mass of pouring cylinder + sand, W2
2 ( gm ) 4430
( After pouring in the hole ).
Mass of sand used in the hole and cone, W3
3 ( gm ) 2045
= ( W1 - W2 )
4 Mass of sand in the cone only, W4 ( gm ) 373
5 Mass of sand in the hole only,
