Frequently Asked Questions
Are the soil testing instruments manufactured by Science Lab Supplies?
No. All 28 items are supplied: Science Lab Supplies obtains them from other manufacturers and delivers them from Ambala. It does not make soil testing equipment, and every product page carries the supplied status and specifications.
Which liquid limit methods are covered?
Both common methods. The hand-operated and motorised Casagrande devices drop a brass cup 1 cm onto a hard rubber base, while the cone penetrometer uses a 148 g sliding weight and takes the liquid limit at 25 mm penetration.
What is the difference between the CBR machines?
The hand-operated set has a 5000 kg load frame and a 150 mm gun-metal mould, the motorised machine is a twin-column 50 kN frame, and the field CBR equipment uses a 50 kN jack with three proving rings for tests in place.
Which items measure soil density in the field?
The core cutter takes a core of known volume, the sand replacement equipment works in fine and medium-grained soils in layers up to 50 cm, and the 305 mm sand cone suits gravels and coarse soils.
Can soil and concrete equipment be ordered together?
Yes. Soil apparatus from this page can share one quotation with concrete and aggregate test sets, balances and glassware from the related ranges, so a civil engineering materials lab is priced in a single offer.
What information should a soil equipment enquiry give?
List the items and quantities, your supply voltage for motorised units, and the choices the pages leave open, such as the 100 or 150 mm core cutter and the rammer weight for the compactor. Tender buyers can use the lab tender page; others the contact page or enquiry cart.
