Drying, Weighing
and Grading
INTRODUCTION
Ovens, balances and test sieves with rela-

ted accessories are common equipment that are
indispensable for all laboratories for construction
materials. We propose a wide range of models which
satisfy the requirement of all main International
Standards and particularly the EN 932-5 “Tests for
general properties of aggregates – Part 5: Common
equipment and calibration.”

Testing sieves
Introduction
Specifications
We propose a complete range of full

depth testing sieves with 200 mm,
8”, 250 mm, 300 mm, 12”, 315 mm
and 450 mm dia., with woven wire
cloth and perforated plate confor-
ming to the different standards. On
request we can also supply models
with round holes perforated plate
from 1 to 100 mm dia.
All frames except the 450 mm dia.,
and wire cloth sieves are manufac-
tured from stainless steel. Perforated
plates are made from tinned steel.
Sieves having the same nominal
diameter are designed to nest one in
each other. Using 200 mm (8”) sie-
ves it is possible to test up to 1000 g
of aggregates and 3000 g with 300
mm (12”) dia. Standards

Soil Classification
INTRODUCTION
In all sections of civil engineering and

particularly in soil mechanics, the engineer
during the design stage must ensure that the
analysis of soil properties relate directly to the
relevant foundation or structure. Using pro-
cedures involving extracting, examining and
testing representative samples the engineer can
compute a model very close to the real situa-
tion. In recent years we have seen a significant
contribution to experimental analysis resulting
from more sophisticated testing procedures, up
dating of many International Standards, and
publication of good testing manuals and pro-
cedures.

The TRL DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer)

is an instrument designed for the rapid in-

with unbound materials. Continuous mea-
surements can be made down to a depth of
approximately 850 mm or when extension
shafts are used to a recommended maxi-
mum depth of 2 m. Where pavement layers
have different strengths the boundaries
can be identified and the thickness of the
layers determined. Correlation’s have been
established in earlier work (Van Vuuren

and Pratt 1983) between measurements

A well established portable test method for

the determination of moisture content of
soils, sand and fine aggregates. The proce-
dure involves the reaction between water
and calcium carbide which when mixed
together give off a gas. The amount of gas
is directly proportional to the amount of
water present in the sample and results
in percentage moisture are taken from a
pressure gauge.

Acidity test kit
Acidity is the quantitative capacity of a

water sample to neutralise a base to a set
pH. Therefore the greater acidity the more
potentially corrosive the water.
The kit is supplied complete with 30
