m by your MetaField Administrator for it to be available for a Density Test. A new gauge requires 5 standardization counts to be entered.
| Info |
|---|
MetaField requires that a gauge be standardized each day per ASTM requirements. MetaField enforces this by only allowing gauges standardized that day (calendar day, not rolling 24 hour period) to be used for field density tests. The standardization date of a gauge must match the test date of a test in order for the gauge to be available for selection. |
A nuclear density gauge must be entered in the syste
| Tip |
|---|
Gauges are required to be calibrated / verified by ASTM standard annually, or whenever the gauge is determined to need repair. We recommend that when these events occur, the field technician run the MetaField standardization 5 times using the resulting counts to reset the gauge to the calibrated / verified count. Ongoing daily standardization then uses the calibrated / verified count as the new benchmark. |

Depending on the gauge selected, MetaField will automatically adjust according to the Method the gauge was calibrated (Standard Count or Radioactive Decay) |
Standard Count
The following will appear after you select a gauge that has been calibrated via Standard Count method.
...
Once your counts are saved, Gauge Standardization is complete. At this point, you will be given 3 options:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Enter Another Count | Select this option when the gauge standardization failed, but there is an exception to be considered (e.g. humidity). |
Standardize Another Gauge | Select this option to enter standardization counts for a different gauge. |
Perform A Soil Density Test | Select this option to visit the project selection screen and begin the Soil Density Testing process. |
