Compliance Standards:
- EN ISO 12956
Applications:
- To determine the characteristic opening size of a Single layer geotextile or geotextile related products, using the wet sieving principle.
Working Principle:
- A quantity of graded granular material is spread on the surface of the Geotextile and washed through with water. The geotextile acts as a sieve and the graded granular material, which as soil, passes through the geotextile and is analyzed for available characteristic opening size in geotextile.
Salient Features:
- Suitable to test various geotextile and geotextile related products.
- Consists of Electromagnetic sieve shaker, Characteristic opening size frame, Spray nozzle, flow control valve as per EN ISO 12956
- Equipped with spray nozzle to ensure even wetting of the test specimen
- Equipped with Flow control valve and water Pump arrangement
- The specimen is placed on the metal grid to avoid excessive deformation of the specimen under the weight of the granular material.
- Vibrating time is adjustable
- Digital display of time & amplitude
Note:
- End user shall have Stop watch, Balance, Drying Oven and Filter paper to perform the entire experiment, which can be procured at extra cost.
