Proctor CBR Soil Compactor, Automatic, Eco Smartz (BS/EN)

Proctor CBR Soil Compactor, Automatic (BS/EN) is used to test soil properties in construction and geotechnical engineering. This compact unit is capable of automatically performing two key sets: the Proctor test and the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test. The Proctor test helps determine soil compaction characteristics by assessing maximum density and optimal moisture content, while the CBR test evaluates soil strength for road construction. Automation streamlines the testing process, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. By automating these tests, the compactor ensures consistency and reliable results, making it an invaluable tool for soil analysis in construction projects.

Features of Proctor CBR Soil Compactor, Automatic, Eco Smartz (BS/EN)

• Single version mechanism for most international standard
• Pre-set blow system ensures even compaction
• Solid state controls reliability & ease of maintenance
• Separated control box unit protects against vibration damage

Standard: BS 1377-4, 1924-2, EN 13286-2, EN 13286-47

• BS 1377-4

This British Standard focuses on determining the relationship between soil density and moisture content. It outlines procedures for testing soil compaction using various methods to assess how soil density changes with moisture content.

• 1924-2

This standard details methods for evaluating the strength and deformation properties of soil samples in laboratory settings. It specifically deals with unconfined compression tests, which measure how cohesive soils behave under compression.

• EN 13286-2 

This European Standard provides guidelines for testing soil compaction and density using mechanical compaction techniques. It specifies procedures for determining the maximum dry density and optimal moisture content of soil samples using equipment like Proctor or CBR compactors.

• EN 13286-47

This European Standard focuses on testing the mechanical properties of stabilized soils treated with binders like cement or lime. It includes methods for assessing the compressive strength and stiffness of stabilized soil samples in laboratory conditions.

Test Procedure of Proctor CBR Soil Compactor, Automatic, Eco Smartz (BS/EN)

1. Preparation of Soil Sample: Collect the soil sample for the testing site. Ensure the soil sample is free from any debris or foreign materials. Then, determine the required moisture content for testing based on specific standards or project requirements. 

2. Compactor Setup: Calibrate the Eco Smartz Automatic Proctor/CBR Soil Compactor according to the manufacturer's instructions and adjust the compactor settings such as compaction energy, compaction mode (Proctor or CBR), and test parameters (moisture content, number of blows, etc.).

3. Compaction Test: Place a portion of the prepared soil sample into the compaction mold or Proctor/CBR mold. Set the compactor to perform the desired test (Proctor or CBR) and input the necessary parameters. Start the compaction process, allowing the machine to automatically compact the soil sample according to the specified standards. Monitor the compaction process to ensure proper compaction energy and technique are applied.

4. Measurement & Analysis: After compaction is complete, remove the soil sample from the mold. Measure and record the dimensions and weight of the compacted soil specimen. Conduct additional tests if necessary, such as moisture content determination for Proctor tests or soaking for CBR tests. Analyze the results obtained from the compaction test, including the maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, and any other relevant parameters.

5. Data Reporting: Document all parameters, procedures, and results in a test report and ensure all report complies with relevant standards and project specifications. Do provide conclusion and recommendations based on test results, if required. 

6. Equipment Maintenance: Make sure to clean and maintain the Eco Smartz Automatic Proctor/CBR Soil Compactor according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure continued accuracy and performance.
