The Sand Cone Density Apparatus Set is a 1gal (3.8L) threaded plastic jar with detachable double cone fitting. The metal cone is threaded on one end, flanged to 6-1/2in (165mm) on the other, with a cylindrical valve of 1/2in (12.7mm) dia. orifice between ends. Valve has stops to prevent rotating past completely open or closed positions.
The sand cone density test is an inexpensive method of determining in-place density of soils having maximum particle sizes up to 2in (51mm) using test hole volumes of approximately 0.1ft3 (2.8L).
