Precision Measurement for Geotechnical Labs

Shape Index Calipers are essential tools in geotechnical and civil engineering laboratories. Their ability to deliver precise readings of particle shape index enables reliable assessment of material suitability for construction and research. Dual scale readings, high-resolution gradations, and ergonomic features ensure maximum accuracy and ease of use, making them indispensable for engineers and lab technicians engaged in soil and aggregate analysis.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

Crafted from premium-grade stainless steel, the Shape Index Caliper provides superior durability and resistance to corrosion. Its polished surface ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance. This resilience makes it well-suited for frequent and rigorous laboratory applications, helping maintain measurement accuracy over time even in demanding environments.

FAQ's of Shape Index Caliper:

Q: How do you use the Shape Index Caliper to measure irregularly shaped soil or aggregate samples?

A: To measure particle shape index, place the aggregate or soil sample between the instrument's curved jaws. Carefully adjust the jaws until they gently contact the sample without compressing it. Read the dimension from the etched and marked scale-available in both metric and imperial units-ensuring accuracy. Record and compare results as needed for geotechnical analysis.

Q: What benefits does the dual scale (metric and imperial) feature offer?

A: The dual scale simplifies data collection and reporting in various international and national settings, as users can easily switch between metric and imperial measurements. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for projects adhering to different standards or involving multinational teams, facilitating broader compatibility and convenience.

Q: When should the Shape Index Caliper be recalibrated?

A: Although each unit is factory calibrated, it's advisable to verify calibration periodically based on usage frequency and laboratory quality protocols, or whenever irregular readings are observed. For critical applications, annual or biannual checks help maintain measurement precision and compliance with IS & ASTM standards.

Q: Where is the Shape Index Caliper most commonly used?

A: This instrument is widely used in geotechnical laboratories, construction material testing centers, civil engineering research institutions, and quality assurance departments. It is also suitable for service providers, manufacturers, and traders dealing in aggregates and soil samples throughout India.

Q: What is the process for maintaining the caliper's accuracy and longevity?

A: To ensure sustained accuracy, clean the jaws and scale after each use, store the caliper in a dry environment, and avoid exposure to corrosive substances. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance, but proper care will prolong its life and measurement precision.

Q: What makes this caliper suitable for shape index testing according to IS & ASTM standards?

A: The caliper meets all dimensional, material, and accuracy specifications required under IS and ASTM standards for shape index testing. Its precision, factory calibration, and clearly marked graduations ensure that test results are reliable and traceable according to standardized procedures.
