Precision Soil Testing Instrument

This Liquid Limit Device features a hand-operated design with a mechanical resettable counter, meeting IS, ASTM, and BS standards for evaluating soil plasticity. The robust construction includes a polished brass bowl, metal base, and Bakelite or plastic handle, ensuring durability and accuracy in laboratory and field settings. Its removable brass bowl and adjustable height settings simplify cleaning and calibration, making it a reliable choice for consistent soil testing results.

Comprehensive Accessory Kit Included

Each unit comes complete with essential accessories: standard ASTM and IS grooving tools, a gauge block, and a clear instruction manual. All components are housed in a sturdy, export-quality box for added portability and protection. Designed for immediate use, the kit streamlines the soil testing process, supporting both novice and experienced users in measuring the liquid limit quickly and accurately.

Manual Operation for Dependable Results

Operating entirely without electricity, this device utilizes a hand crank to lift and drop the brass bowl at a standard lifting height and rate. The mechanical counter provides resettable, reliable data collection with every test. Ideal for environments without a stable power supply, the Liquid Limit Device enables laboratories, educational institutes, and field teams to perform standardized soil consistency analysis efficiently and conveniently.

FAQ's of Liquid Limit Device:

Q: How is the Liquid Limit Device operated during testing?

A: The device is operated manually using a hand crank, which lifts and drops the brass bowl at a specific height (10 mm) and speed (14 revolutions per 30 seconds). The mechanical counter tracks the number of drops, allowing precise monitoring without the need for external power.

Q: What standards does this Liquid Limit Device comply with?

A: It conforms to IS 2720 (Part V), ASTM D4318, and BS 1377 standards, ensuring compatibility with major geotechnical soil testing protocols used worldwide.

Q: When should I use this device?

A: The Liquid Limit Device is used whenever you need to determine the liquid limit of a soil sample, which is critical for classifying soil type and understanding its engineering behavior during construction or research projects.

Q: Where can this device be used effectively?

A: This device is suitable for use in laboratories, field testing facilities, educational institutions, and by soil testing service providers. Its manual operation ensures functionality in locations with limited or no electrical supply.

Q: What process does the device follow to test soil plasticity?

A: A small amount of soil is placed in the brass bowl, a groove is made using the provided tool, and the device is cranked. The bowl is repeatedly dropped until the groove closes at a specified number of drops, determining the soil's liquid limit by the Casagrande method.

Q: What are the benefits of using a mechanical resettable counter?

A: The mechanical counter allows for precise, repeatable measurements, helping reduce human error and aiding efficient documentation and consistency across multiple tests.

Q: What accessories are included with the Liquid Limit Device?

A: Each device comes with standard ASTM and IS grooving tools, a gauge block for calibration, a detailed instruction manual, and is packaged in a durable, export-quality box for safe transport and storage.
