FAQs of Heavy Compaction Test:

Q: How is the Heavy Compaction Test performed using this apparatus?

A: The process involves placing soil in the 100 mm x 127.3 mm mould, compacting it in layers using the 4.5 kg rammer with a 457 mm free fall. After compaction, the soils density and moisture content can be determined following IS 2720 (Part 8) or ASTM D1557 standards.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using this Heavy Compaction Test Apparatus?

A: Key benefits include high accuracy (1%), corrosion resistance, sturdy construction, and compliance with international testing standards. Manual operation ensures consistent results without power requirements, making it suitable for diverse laboratory settings.

Q: When should I use the Heavy Compaction Test Apparatus?

A: Use this apparatus when you need to evaluate soil compaction characteristics for construction, geotechnical investigations, or academic research. It is particularly essential for projects requiring compliance with IS 2720 (Part 8) or ASTM D1557.

Q: Where is this equipment typically used?

A: This apparatus is commonly used in civil engineering laboratories of educational institutions, research centers, construction quality control units, and geotechnical consulting firms for mechanical soil compaction assessments.

Q: What is included in the Heavy Compaction Test Apparatus package?

A: The standard package contains the mould, rammer, collar, and mild steel base plate. The unit is supplied in a sturdy wooden box or carton to safeguard components during transportation and storage.

Q: How often is maintenance required and what service support is available?

A: Routine cleaning and inspection are recommended after each use to maintain performance. On-site maintenance and service support are available to address repairs or component replacements as needed.

Q: What is the maximum soil size and sample volume that can be tested?

A: The apparatus accommodates soil aggregates up to 37.5 mm in size and supports a maximum sample volume of 1000 cc, meeting laboratory soil testing requirements for various applications.
