The Sand Pouring Cylinder is used for determining the in-situ density of soil by the sand replacement method. It is widely used in geotechnical laboratories, highway projects, earthworks and construction quality control.
The apparatus uses a calibrated cylinder, funnel and controlled shutter arrangement to determine the volume of an excavated test cavity for soil-density calculations.
The apparatus is used directly at the test location to evaluate soil density and compaction. It includes a calibrated cylinder, conical funnel, shutter mechanism, metal tray and calibrating container.

It is used to determine the in-situ density of soil using the sand replacement method.
The listed models are available in 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm sizes.
The appropriate model depends on the soil type and size of the test excavation. Smaller models are commonly used for finer soils, while larger models are useful for coarser material and larger test pits.
Yes. The apparatus is designed specifically for on-site soil-density testing.
