Nondestructive measurement since 1962. A recognized leader in employing nuclear technology for. Asphalt concrete soils flat roofs.
Of density and moisture in. Innovative nuclear gauges for nondestructive measurement. Pretest warm up procedures for the 3440 nuclear gauge the standard count should be taken daily before any testing is done to check gauge operation and allow the.
Percent density and the moisture content from the nuclear gauge is compared to the optimum moisture limits. Hyderabad 314 316 3rd floor swapnalok complex sarojini devi road secunderabad 500003 dist. Nuclear density gauges provides direct readings of wet density dry density moisture content and relative density aimil limited secunderabad dist.
They offer the user a quick and accurate means of determining density and moisture content of soils asphalt rooftops and concrete and they all essentially use the same design and basic approach to determining these measurements. Nuclear moisture density gauges have been in use for over thirty years. It is a very direct relationship more counts more moisture.
The helium 3 tubes in the gauge can only detect slow neutrons. The nuclear gauge determines moisture by releasing fast neutrons that are slowed down or thermalized when they interact with the nucleus of hydrogen a key ingredient of moisture. Operation with aa battery backup.
Nimh battery provides 60 hr. Easy to use and view touch screen or keypad operation. Humboldt hs 5001sd state of the art nuclear gauge.
Humboldt s nuclear gauges provide density and moisture measurements for road bed construction to determine the percent of soil compaction.
Nuclear moisture density gauge. The gauge calculates the moisture content subtracts it from the soil s in place wet density and reports the soil s dry density. Density of liquids in pipes. Nuclear density gauges can also be used to measure the density of a liquid in a pipe. If a source is mounted on one side of a pipe and a detector on the other the amount of radiation.
A nuclear gauge also called a nuclear density gauge a soil moisture gauge or a moisture density gauge is a tool used for civil engineering projects and construction that measures soil density or soil water content. Nuclear gauges are also used for industrial mining and scientific purposes. Nuclear gauges are one of the most accurate methods used to measure the moisture content and density of soils aggregates and other materials. These measurements are used for building roads and dams and for collecting scientific data on soil water content in agricultural and forestry settings.
Used in the backscatter mode the nuclear density gauge is entirely non destructive. Used in the direct mode the gauge only requires a small penetration into the finished mat approximately 20 mm less than 1 inch in diameter and about 50 mm 2 inches deep. A nuclear moisture gauge not pictured uses a neutron source.
