FAQs of Sand Equivalent Apparatus:

Q: How is the Sand Equivalent Apparatus SE-100 used in soil and aggregate testing?

A: The SE-100 is utilized by filling its graduated cylinders with soil or aggregate samples and adding solution according to standard methods. The provided plunger agitates the sample, allowing clay-like particles to settle. The sand equivalent value is read from cylinder graduations to determine the proportion of unwanted fine materials.

Q: What standards does the SE-100 Sand Equivalent Apparatus comply with?

A: The apparatus fully complies with internationally recognized ASTM D2419 and AASHTO T176 standards, ensuring consistent, reliable results that meet regulatory requirements for materials testing laboratories.

Q: When should I use a sand equivalent test in construction projects?

A: This test is essential when assessing potential aggregate or soil materials for roadwork, concrete, or asphalt applications. It should be used whenever fine dust or clay-like contaminants may influence material performance and longevity.

Q: Where is the SE-100 apparatus typically employed?

A: The SE-100 is used primarily in laboratory environments across construction, civil engineering, and quality control sectors where accurate analysis of soils and aggregates is required to meet project or regulatory standards.

Q: What benefits does using the SE-100 provide to laboratories and projects?

A: Using the SE-100 enables laboratories to quickly and accurately assess material cleanliness, supporting informed decision-making and quality control. Its high efficiency, standard compliance, and fully manual design improve reliability without energy dependence.

Q: What is the measurement range and capacity of the SE-100 graduated cylinders?

A: Each included cylinder is graduated from 0 to 380 mm and has a 1000 ml capacity, allowing precise measurement of sedimentation and sand equivalent values up to 100.
