The MATEST Sand Density Cone Apparatus Dia. 4″ is designed for accurate in-situ determination of soil density, especially for fine-grained compacted soils. The test method involves excavating a hole, collecting and weighing the removed soil sample, then filling the hole with calibrated dry sand from the cone to measure the exact volume. This complete kit includes a galvanized metal double cone assembly, a matching galvanized base, and two 5-litre plastic jars—ensuring durability, precision, and ease of use on construction and geotechnical sites.
