Sand Gauge Chart
Product Code : LSK-SM-10669
Sand Gauge Chart (SKU LSK-SM-10669) is a small water-resistant card carrying real granule patches for judging the size and roundness of sand grains in the field, from 2 mm very coarse sand down to 1/16 mm silt. Geology students, civil engineers and site technicians use it when logging sediments. Science Lab Supplies ships the chart from Ambala, India to universities, colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Nine granule patches are firmly attached to an 89 x 64 mm (3.5 x 2.5 in) plastic card. Size panels run from very coarse to silt and shape panels from angular to rounded. The reverse carries geologic age and carbonate classification tables, and a checklist helps with field notes.

Applications and Experiments for the Sand Gauge Chart
The chart lets a user compare grains against fixed references to record both size class and roundness, two properties that show how far sediment has travelled and how a sand may behave in construction. Its checklist prompts consistent notes, including bed thickness.
- B.Sc. / M.Sc. geology: sedimentology field work on sand size, sorting and roundness.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: describing sands and aggregates during site investigation.
- TVET survey and construction materials modules: logging sand deposits and borrow pits.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Sand Gauge Chart is supplied as one card with its nine granule patches, the size and shape panels, the reverse-side tables and the field checklist, as described above. Any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Charts for a whole field class or a single replacement can be quoted, and the quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for that number. Grain size charts and geotechnical gauges can join the order, so a department can source its field kit from one laboratory equipment supplier in India.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter able to ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Get in touch via the contact page, add charts to the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for tendered supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size range does the Sand Gauge Chart cover?
It covers 2 mm very coarse sand down to 1/16 mm silt, through very coarse, coarse, medium, fine, very fine and silt panels.
How does it help judge grain shape?
Shape panels show angular, sub-angular, sub-rounded and rounded grains, so users match their sample's roundness by direct comparison rather than from memory.
What is on the back of the card?
Tables of geologic age and carbonate classification information, handy references when describing sedimentary beds in the field.
Who supplies the Sand Gauge Chart?
Science Lab Supplies handles supply from Ambala, India, quoting universities, colleges, training centres, contractors and distributors directly.
Related Sediment and Soil Field Charts
Size and roundness are only part of a sediment description, so these Soil Mechanics items are often added: a Wentworth grain chart, a soil classification card, and two field density tools for measuring the same sands and gravels in place.

- Geotechnical Gauge — soil type and consistency tables on a lanyard card.
- Sand Replacement Equipment — in-place dry density of fine and medium soils.
- Cone Apparatus — density of gravels and coarse soils.
