Laboratory Equipment

Various pieces of apparatus are available for soil testing in the laboratory environment. Here are just a few of the most popular types:

Calcimeter

A five station calcimeter for determination, based on a volumetric method, of carbonate content in soil.

Pipette apparatus

Available as a bench or wall mounted model for determination of particle size distribution of soil. Both models in accordance with NEN5753.

Wet Sieving Apparatus

Aggregate stability is established without the need for expensive drying ovens, chemicals, long waiting periods and expensive balances. The results are determined on the principle that unstable aggregates will break down more easily than stable aggregates when immersed in water.

Permeameter

For measuring saturated permeability (horizontal or vertical) of undisturbed soil samples in sample rings.

Sandbox set for pf determination

Three pF sets, with measuring ranges from pF 0 to 4.2, for determination of moisture-release characteristic (pF-curve) of soil.
