Standard Penetration Test Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in China
Product Code : EL-CELE-12955
Quick answer: The Standard Penetration Test Apparatus is supplied by Science Lab Supplies as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range, manufactured and exported from Jining City, Shandong Province, China for schools, colleges and laboratory buyers.
Significance & Use :
The Standard Penetration test (SPT) is a common in?situ testing method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of subsurface soils. It is a simple and inexpensive
test to estimate the relative density of soils and approximate shear strength parameters.
This test method is used extensively in a great variety of geotechnical exploration projects. The test method provides a disturbed soil sample for moisture content determination and laboratory identification.
Working Principle :
Standard Penetration Test, SPT, involves driving a standard thick?walled sample tube into the ground at the bottom of a borehole by blows from a slide hammer with standard weight and falling distance.
The sample tube is driven 150 mm into the ground and then the number of blows needed for the tube to penetrate each 150 mm (6 in) up to a depth of 450 mm (18 in) is recorded. The sum of the number of blows required for the second and third 6 inch of penetration is reported as SPT
blow?count value, commonly termed "standard penetration resistance" or the "N?value".
The N?value provides an indication of the relative density of the subsurface soil, and it is used in empirical geotechnical correlation to estimate the approximate shear strength properties of the soils.
