The MATEST Balloon Density Apparatus 1600 mL is a robust and reliable solution for determining the in-situ density of fine graded compacted or bonded soils. Ideal for geotechnical and construction site testing, this complete kit includes a graduated plexiglass cylinder, rubber pump, density plate, and 12 durable rubber balloons. The apparatus works by pumping water into a rubber balloon placed in an excavated hole, with the displaced water volume measured directly from the cylinder’s graduation scale.
