FAQs of Sand Equivalent Shaker:
Q: How does the built-in timer with automatic shut-off function?
A: The built-in timer enables users to set a precise shaking duration, up to 60 minutes. After the selected time elapses, the shaker automatically shuts off, ensuring consistent testing and preventing over-shaking of samples.
Q: What is the primary application of the Sand Equivalent Shaker-SE01?
A: This shaker is designed for the uniform mechanical shaking of sand equivalent test samples in line with ASTM D2419 and AASHTO T176 standards. It facilitates the reproducible evaluation of fine aggregates cleanliness in laboratory settings.
Q: When should the continuous operation mode be used?
A: Continuous mode is ideal when multiple samples require extended shaking or when custom procedures exceed the standard timed operation, allowing added flexibility for various experimental protocols.
Q: Where can this shaker be installed and used?
A: Thanks to its compact design and standard 3-pin Indian/International plug, the Sand Equivalent Shaker can be placed on laboratory workbenches in research, civil engineering, and quality control labs requiring sand equivalent testing.
Q: What benefits does the low-noise operation offer?
A: Low-noise operation creates a quieter working environment, reducing disruption and fatigue for laboratory personnel during extended testing procedures.
Q: How are samples secured during the testing process?
A: Samples are firmly held by non-corrosive steel clamps that ensure stability throughout the shaking process, preventing slippage and supporting accurate, repeatable results.
Q: What are the main advantages of the Sand Equivalent Shaker-SE01s design and construction?
A: Its heavy-gauge steel and cast iron build provide robustness and longevity, while its dual-sample capacity and analog timer display streamline workflow and enhance testing productivity.
