Whether testing in the field or lab, Gilson has the soil compaction test equipment you need to perform Proctor Compaction Tests, determining soil moisture-density relationship and for testing Relative Compaction and Relative Density of granular soils.

With this complete Proctor test kit, you will receive everything you need to conduct these evaluations in your laboratory. Each kit comes with a compaction hammer, a soil compaction mold, a beveled steel straight edge, a stainless steel spoon, a soil preparation knife, a universal sample ejector, a moisture box, a wash bottle, a galvanized ...

Compaction equipment includes products for proctor compaction tests that determine soil moisture density relationships. The compaction equipment includes: Automatic Compactors : There are 3 types of soils compactors: the Auto Soil Compactor , Proctor Soil Compactor and the California Method 216 Compactor .

Relative Compaction Test Set is used for laboratory determination of the maximum wet density of soils and aggregates by the California 216 Impact method. Relative compaction is the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate.

Proctor Compaction Test Apparatus is used to determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of soil, measuring the compaction characteristics and the relationship between moisture content and dry density of soil. It consists of rammers and compaction molds with a base plate and collar.

Relative Compaction Test Set is used for laboratory determination of the maximum wet density of soils and aggregates by the California 216 Impact method. Relative compaction is the ratio of in-place wet density to test the maximum wet density of the same soil or aggregate.

The unit performs standard or modified compaction tests using a 5.5lb hammer with 12″ drop height or a 10lb hammer with 18″ drop height. Additionally, the hammer lift compensates the height of the drop for soil thickness in the mold during compaction. The hammer weight is also concentrated at the foot, allowing free fall of the hammer.

The soil compaction tester helps to identify if soil compaction is a problem, how deep the compaction layer is and how compacted the soil is. It gives answers to the questions you need to ask about your tillage methods and field conditions and helps to avoid the potentially high cost of soil compaction.
