Product Description
We provide a wide range of Standard Penetration Testing Set. This testing set can be used for measuring the undisturbed strength of the soil. In order to maintain quality and avoid any type of flaw, Standard Penetration Testing Set is tested on various quality parameter before final delivery. We are giving this testing set in number of specifications as per the needs of customers.
Engineered for Field ExcellenceCrafted from heavy-duty steel and finished with anti-corrosive powder coating, this Standard Penetration Testing Set offers exceptional durability for demanding site environments. The collapsible tripod and robust components ensure stability during tests, while steel wire rope and pulleys facilitate smooth manual operation of the hammer, supporting reliable results even in challenging terrains.
Comprehensive Geotechnical ApplicationDesigned specifically for determining soil bearing capacity and characteristics, this SPT set is essential for site evaluations, construction projects, and foundation analysis. The set's compliance with IS 2131, ASTM D1586, and BS 1377-9 standards ensures accuracy across various soil investigation tasks, while the split spoon sampler provides undisturbed soil specimens for thorough examination.
Practical, Manual OperationThis equipment operates entirely by manual lifting and release, eliminating the need for an electrical power supply, adapting smoothly to remote or off-grid locations. Its standard 750 mm hammer drop and manually counted blows offer precise control and measurement during dynamic soil testing, suitable for borehole depths up to 30 meters.
FAQ's of Standard Penetration Testing Set:
Q: How is the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) conducted using this set?
A: The SPT is carried out by assembling the tripod and mounting the 63.5 kg hammer system. The split spoon sampler is driven into the soil at the borehole base by repeatedly dropping the hammer from a standard height of 750 mm. The number of blows required to achieve specified penetration depths is counted manually, following IS 2131, ASTM D1586, or BS 1377-9 procedures.
Q: What is the main application of this SPT set?
A: This SPT set is primarily used for geotechnical soil investigations to determine soil bearing capacity and essential properties. It aids engineers and site evaluators in designing foundations and assessing site suitability for construction projects.
Q: When is this equipment preferred over automated testing devices?
A: This manually operated SPT set is ideal when working in areas without electrical supply, such as remote, undeveloped, or off-grid sites. Its portability and independence from power sources make it valuable for a wide range of field conditions commonly encountered in India.
Q: Where can the Standard Penetration Testing Set be effectively utilized?
A: The set is suited for on-site geotechnical investigations at construction locations, infrastructure developments, or any site requiring soil analysis up to 30 meters deep. Its portability allows use across diverse terrains, from urban sites to rural and inaccessible regions.
Q: What are the benefits of using a split spoon sampler in this SPT set?
A: The split spoon sampler allows retrieval of relatively undisturbed soil samples from specified depths, enabling accurate assessment of soil strata, consistency, and characteristics essential for engineering analysis.
Q: How does compliance with IS, ASTM, and BS standards benefit users?
A: Adherence to IS 2131, ASTM D1586, and BS 1377-9 ensures that test results are universally recognized, reliable, and suitable for regulatory and professional engineering requirements across different regions.
Q: What is included in the typical SPT set composition provided by manufacturers and suppliers in India?
A: A standard kit includes a collapsible steel tripod, drop hammer, split spoon sampler, steel drive rods (1 m and 1.5 m), forged steel anvil, lifting head, guide bush, steel wire rope with pulleys, and necessary accessories for field soil testing.
