Often referred to as the ‘Proctor’ test it is suitable for soils containing particles no larger than 20 mm. The mould and rammer are manufactured from corrosion protected steel components to withstand the heavy usage involved in the test.Compaction Mould BS StandardProduct Code: 24-9000Product Standards:BS 1377-4, BS 1924-2, EN 1997-2Plated steel standard compaction mould, comprising a collar mould body and base plate with quick release wing nuts for easy dismantling.SpecificationsMould Volume1 ltrDimensions (mm)105 dia x 115.4 highConstructionAll steel, threaded studs with wing nuts, platedWeight (kg)5.5Compaction Rammer 2.5 kg BS StandardProduct Code: 24-9002Product Standards:BS 1377-4, BS 1924-2, EN 1997-250 mm diameter with 300 mm drop, manufactured from corrosion protected steel.SpecificationsRammer Size50 mm dia, 2.5 kgDrop (mm)300Guide SleeveMachined steel tubing with air pressure release holesFinishCorrosion resistantTotal Weight (kg)4.2BS/EN Compaction Test 4.5 kgThis test method utilises a 4.5 kg hand rammer resulting in a heavier compactive effort than the 2.5 kg test method. Compactive energy some 4.5 times greater is applied to the sample using the heavier rammer. The method is often specified where higher levels of compaction are necessary in a structure, e.g. an airfield sub-base material. Manufactured from corrosion protected steel components the 4.5 kg rammer is designed to withstand heavy usage involved in the test method.Compaction Rammer 4.5 kg BS StandardProduct Code: 24-9004Product Standards:BS 1377-4, BS 1924-2, EN 1997-2SpecificationsRammer Size50 mm dia, 4.5 kgDrop (mm)450Guide SleeveMachined steel tubing with air pressure release holesFinishCorrosion resistantTotal Weight (kg)7.5Soil Testingwww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 20031Compaction & CBRProctor CompactionProctor Mould ASTMProduct Code: 24-9060Product Standards:ASTM D558, ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T99, AASHTO T134, AASHTO T180SpecificationsDimensions (mm)101.6 dia x 116.4 highRammer Mould Volume1/30 ft³ConstructionAll steel, threaded studs with wing nuts, platedWeight (kg)5.4Proctor Compaction Rammer 2.49 kg ASTMProduct Code: 24-9063Product Standards:ASTM D558, ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T99, AASHTO T134, AASHTO T180SpecificationsRammer Size2 inches dia (50.8 mm) 5-1/2 lbs (2.49 kg)Drop12 inches (305 mm)Guide SleeveMachined steel tubing with air pressure release holesFinishCorrosion resistantTotal Weight (kg)2.5Compaction Mould Modified ASTMProduct Code: 24-9066Product Standards:ASTM D558, ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T99, AASHTO T134, AASHTO T180SpecificationsDimensions (mm)152.4 dia x 116.4 highRammer Mould Volume1/13.33 ft³ConstructionAll steel, threaded studs with wing nuts, platedWeight (kg)8.3Proctor Compaction Rammer 4.5 kg (Modified) ASTMProduct Code: 24-9070Product Standards:ASTM D558, ASTM D698, ASTM D1557, AASHTO T99, AASHTO T134, AASHTO T180SpecificationsRammer Size2 inches dia.

The use of an automatic, mechanical compactor will show considerable cost benefits over hand compaction methods. Two models meeting the requirements of BS/EN and ASTM are available.Automatic Compactors ±Pre-set blow pattern ensures even compaction. ±Solid state controls for reliability and ease of maintenance. ±Automatic re-setting of counter after completion of blow pattern.These machines automatically compact specimens eliminating the laborious hand compaction method. The height and weight of the rammer are selectable to suit test requirements. An automatic blow pattern ensures optimum compaction for each layer of soil. The rammer travels across the mould and the table rotates the mould in equal steps on a base that is extremely stable. The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test.Soil Testingwww.ele.com • email: ele@eleint.co.uk • tel: +44 (0)1525 249 20033Compaction & CBRProduct Standards:BS 1377-4, BS 1924-2, EN 13286-2, EN 13286-47Pre-set blow pattern ensures an even compaction.

A pre-set number of blows per layer can be set by thumb wheel control. A compaction rate of approximately 26 blows per minute.
