Purpose
Sand Cones used for field soil density testing are managed here.
Field | Description |
---|
Name | - Name of the sand cone used for easy identification (i.e. "Blue Team Gauge", "Truck 1001 Gauge", etc.)
|
Sand Cone ID | - Identification number of the sand cone
|
Method | - The Method used to calibrate the sand cone
|
Calibration / Test Sand Name | - Name of the sand used for a particular sand cone test (i.e. Sand A123). Records available based on Sand Calibration entries
|
Method A Bulk Density of Sand (g/cm³ ) | - Bulk density of the sand used, if the sand cone was calibrated via Method A
|
Method B Bulk Density of Sand (g/cm³ ) | - Bulk density of the sand used, if the sand cone was calibrated via Method B
|
Wt. of Funnel & Base Plate Sand (cm³ ) | - Calibrated weight of funnel and base plate sand for a particular sand cone
|
Vol. of Funnel & Base Plate (cm³) | - Calibrated volume of funnel and base plate for a particular sand cone
|
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
| Date | - Date the sand cone was last calibrated
|
Calibrated By | - Person who last calibrated the sand cone
|
Office | - Office associated with a particular sand cone
|
Sand Calibrations used for Sand Cone testing are managed here.
Field | Description |

Calibration / Test Sand Name | - Name of the sand used for a particular sand cone test (i.e. Sand A123). Entries become available to select when adding a sand cone.
|
Bulk Density of Sand (g/cm³) | - Bulk Density of the sand used for sand cone tests.
|
Calibration Date | - Date of when the sand cone Sand was last calibrated
|
Calibrated By | - Person who last calibrated the sand cone
