Digital Compaction Meter for Soil Testing

Q1: What is the digital compaction meter for soil testing?
A1: The digital compaction meter is a high-precision electronic instrument designed to measure the degree of compaction of soil in the field. It provides fast, accurate, and repeatable readings, helping engineers and contractors ensure proper soil density during construction projects such as road building, foundation preparation, and earthworks.

Q2: What is the application of the digital compaction meter for soil testing?
A2: The handheld soil compaction tester is mainly used to measure the compactness of soil, to evaluate the influence of soil structure on crop root growth, water infiltration, and soil aeration.

• Civil engineering and geotechnical investigations.
• Construction site quality control.
• Roadbed and embankment compaction assessment.
• Monitoring backfill compaction around utilities and structures.

Q3: What are the key features of the digital compaction meter for soil testing?
A3: A digital compaction meter is a device used to measure the degree of soil compaction.

• Digital Display: Clear LCD screen for immediate readout of soil compaction values.
• High Accuracy: Delivers precise measurements with minimal operator influence.
• Multiple Units: Displays results in kPa, psi, or other selectable pressure units.
• Data Logging: Optional memory function to store multiple readings for analysis.
• Durable Construction: Rugged design for use in harsh outdoor environments.
• Rechargeable Battery: Long-lasting battery with USB or AC charging options.

Tips: How to purchase a suitable digital compaction meter for soil testing?

1. Measurement units and accuracy requirements: Select a digital compaction meter for soil testing that supports the required units (such as kPa, psi, kg/cm²) and have a precision of ± 1% or higher to meet the technical specifications of the engineering project.
2. Clear and easy to read display screen: Recommend using models with backlit LCD or digital color screens, suitable for outdoor strong light or nighttime construction environments.
3. Need a data storage/export function or not: If multiple points need to be recorded or long-term comparative analysis is required, it is recommended to choose a storage card USB model with data management functions, such as Bluetooth.
4. Seismic and water-resistant design: Outdoor working conditions are harsh; it is recommended to choose instruments with IP level protection (such as IP65) and seismic resistance.
