FieldDescriptionCategory
Name
  • Name of the gauge sand cone used for easy identification (i.e. "Blue Team Gauge", "Truck 1001 Gauge", etc.)
Make
Sand Cone ID
  • Identification number of the
Model
  • Model of the nuclear gauge
Density
Moisture
Bulk Density of Sand (g/cm3)
  • Bulk density of the sand used for sand cone tests
  • Used as part of the density calculation
Info

While bulk density of sand technically is not associated with a sand cone, MetaField currently stores this value at the sand cone level. Sand used for sand cone tests is generally the same for all tests performed by an office. Since sand cones are typically stored at particular offices, MetaField stores the default Bulk Density of Sand value at the sand cone level.

Calibration Grams
  • Calibration grams for a particular sand cone
Calibration Date
  • Date the nuclear gauge sand cone was last calibrated
Calibrated By
  • Person who last calibrated the nuclear gaugesand cone
Tip

Inactivating a sand cone removes it from the list of sand cones to select from in the Field module
