About Field Density Testing
Field Density Testing allows you to capture information on a Soil Nuclear Gauge, Sand Cone or Bituminous Nuclear Gauge Test in the field. After identifying which type of test you are performing, MetaField will provide you the necessary fields for data input.
Selecting a Project
Before entering test data for a Density Test, you must select the appropriate project. You can do this by selecting a project from the list of Recent Projects or by searching for a project.
Adding a New Density Test
The first screen you will be brought to when entering a new Density Test is the main test screen.
All Density Tests
All Density Test Types share the same main page. Specifications and Test Date required will change depending on the Density Test Type you choose.

Density Testing Notes
A field technician can enter additional notes regarding a Density Test by using this free form field.
Copy Last Density Test
After you save a Density Test you will be presented the option to create a new test by copying information to a new test. By selecting Copy Last Test, certain fields will prepopulate a new test for you.
Field Instructions
A project manager can enter Field Instructions in Project Specifications that will display for technicians when they entered the initial Density Testing screen for a project. This communication vehicle is project specific and read-only in Field.
Entering a Starting Analysis Number
The first time you perform a density test for a project, a Enter Starting Analysis Number field is presented. If you enter a number in this field, your test sequence will start with that number.
As each Test Type has its own numbering sequence, you may provide a starting number for each Test Type.
Entering Moisture Content Data
- Pan # is not a requirement to enter when saving a Sand Cone Test. Instead, as long as Pan Wt, Dry Soil + Pan Wt, and Wet Soil + Pan Wt are entered, the test will save as Analyzed.
- For Moisture Content Tests, if one or more fields (Pan Wt, Dry Soil + Pan Wt, and Wet Soil + Pan Wt) are left blank, the test will save as Pending.
