Penetrometer, Electric

Humboldt's Electric Penetrometer, takes our H-1200 universal penetrometer and adds an automatic digital timer to it. The timer's release mechanism is switchable between seconds minutes, or hours. Timer may be set in 1/10th second intervals. Plunger releases with push of a button, and automatically stops after the preset time duration. H-1240.4F adds a voltage adapter and internal switch on the timing mechanism to change cycle to 50Hz.

Safety and performance are enhanced by an adjustable over-temperature thermostat, low-liquid cut-off, and a built-in cooling coil for use with refrigerated coolant or tap water.

Static Plate Load Tester

Static Plate Load Tests can be utilized in earthworks and foundation engineering, as well as road construction to determine load settlement lines and evaluate the deformability and the load capacity of the soil. When using the static load tester to evaluate a soil layer, the circular load plate is repeatedly loaded and relieved by means of a load device, a hydraulic pump and a pneumatic cylinder. This load is applied to the plate in 6 to 8 equal loading steps. Settlement of the plate is measured by the tester consisting of a carrier frame with a sensing arm and dial gauge. As a counterbalance, a heavy-weight vehicle is used. The indentation of the load plate into the soil, generated with every load step, is indicated via the dial gauge. The settlement of every load step and the corresponding mean normal stress below the load plate appear as test values. After the last load step the relief and a second loading similar to the first loading takes place. For the test evaluation these values are shown in a corresponding diagram as load settlement lines. The modulus of deformation Ev is determined from the load settlement line of the first load (Ev1) and the second load (Ev2). By comparing the initial deformation from Ev1 and the subsequent deformation of Ev2 provides an indication of the compaction attained. The test results and the load settlement lines can be read with the HD-4139.3F Plate Load tester directly on the display and can be printed out immediately at the site via a thermal printer or be revised later in the office on a PC.

Moisture Tester Reagent (10 Pound-1 Gallon Can)

Danger of explosion/fire may result if the Moisture Testing Reagent is allowed contact with moisture. Calcium carbide forms flammable acetylene gas when wet, so it must be kept sealed and dry. Provide adequate ventilation and use away from sparks and flame. U.S. shipping regulations now require truck shipment for all quantities of calcium carbide. For this reason, we no longer provide testing reagent (calcium carbide) with Speedy Moisture Testers. To purchase calcium carbide for use with Speedy testers, please order H-4966, which is a case of 24, 1 lb (0.5kg) canisters. This item requires shipment by truck.
