•Reduces operator error
•Applicable to a wide range of soils
•Gives reproducible test results
•Provides direct measurement of penetration
The method is fundamentally more satisfactory than the Casagrande method as it is essentially a static test depending on the soil shear strength. The test is based on the relationship between moisture content and the penetration of a cone into the soil sample under controlled conditions.
Determines the moisture content at which clay soils pass from a plastic to a liquid state.
Bench mounted apparatus to determine the liquid limit of soils BS1377. This method is applicable to a wide range of soils. The apparatus is fitted with a 150mm diameter dial indicator for direct reading of penetration. Supplied complete with 30deg, 30mm long test cone. Manufactured from stainless steel and includes adjustable levelling feet.
