Standard / Modified Proctor Compaction Apparatus

Manual standard and modified Proctor compaction set for optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of soils.

Overview

This instrument is suitable for geotechnical tests in highways, railways, water conservancy, construction and other fields. It is used to determine the relationship between water content and dry density of soil, so as to obtain the optimum water content and maximum dry density. The instrument is divided into light and heavy types, mainly composed of a compaction hammer, compaction mold, protective cylinder, guide rod and cushion block. The sample is compacted by manual hammering to simulate the field compaction effect, providing a basis for construction quality control of subgrade, base course and earthwork projects.

Applications

• Road and highway engineering laboratory testing
• Construction material quality control and acceptance
• Research and teaching laboratories
• Third-party inspection and certification bodies

Features

• Robust construction suitable for both laboratory and field use
• Compliant with relevant Chinese and international testing standards
• Complete with calibration certificate and operation manual

FAQ

Q1: What standards does the Standard / Modified Proctor Compaction Apparatus comply with?

A1: The Standard / Modified Proctor Compaction Apparatus is designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Chinese national (GB) and transport industry (JTG) standards, as well as applicable ASTM and AASHTO international standards. A calibration certificate traceable to national standards is provided with each unit.

Q2: How often should the Standard / Modified Proctor Compaction Apparatus be calibrated?

A2: We recommend annual calibration by authorized technicians or by iRoad after-sales service center. For high-frequency laboratory use, semi-annual calibration is advised. The instrument is supplied with a factory calibration certificate.

Q3: What is the lead time and do you provide training?

A3: Standard units are usually shipped within 7-15 working days. Custom configurations may require 20-30 days. iRoad provides on-site installation, commissioning and operator training for major equipment; remote video guidance is available for standard laboratory instruments.
