The MATEST Balloon Density Apparatus 3000 mL is a high-capacity in-situ density testing system designed for fine graded compacted or bonded soils. Built to meet French Specification requirements, this model features a robust hand-driven piston that forces water into a reinforced rubber membrane, accurately filling the excavated hole. Volume is measured via an engraved index on the piston stem, while a dial gauge monitors water pressure to ensure uniform testing conditions. Supplied as a complete kit, it’s an ideal choice for geotechnical engineers needing precise and reliable field measurements.
