Density Testing - Sand Cones

Table of Contents

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. (Sand Cones can be calibrated via Method A or B, or A & B. If a sand cone is calibrated for both methods, the technician in Field, will determine which method is used.)
Method B Bulk Density of Sand (g/cm³ )	Bulk density of the sand used, if the sand cone was calibrated via Method B. (Sand Cones can be calibrated via Method A or B, or A & B. If a sand cone is calibrated for both methods, the technician in Field, will determine which method is used.)
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 (Value will display as Calibration Volume on Sand Cone report)
Calibration 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 was calibrated
Calibrated By	Person who last calibrated the sand

Info

For Method A of Sand Cones, changing the bulk density of sand at the sand cone level, will not alter past test results.

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

Equipment data can be extracted using the appropriate Extract Records buttons.
