In Situ Density

This document describes various apparatuses used for measuring soil density and permeability. It includes the cone penetrometer method using a 165 mm diameter cone to measure in-situ density according to ASTM standards. Larger 305 mm diameter equipment is used for soils containing gravel. Surface soil sampling tubes ranging from 73-200 mm in diameter are also described. Balloon density apparatuses of 1596 ml and 3000 ml volumes that use water pressure to determine density are provided. Accessories such as balloons, bases, and carrying cases are also listed.
