Soil Nuclear Gauge

Specifications

• Specifications may have preexisting values based on Project Specifications - Density.
• Using the check box, Moisture Specifications may or may not be required.
• After selecting a Proctor, characteristics of the Proctor will display.  These values come from Lab.
• NOTE:  You may also view the proctor curve or image by selecting View Proctor Curve or View Proctor Image.  These buttons will not exist if there are not attachments to the proctor.  For instruction on how to attach an image to a proctor, see Soil Proctor Results
• To see more proctor metadata, select the Show More Data button.
  
  

Soil Nuclear Gauge Test

• 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 must match the test date in order for the gauge to appear as an option to select.
• See Field - Gauge Standardization for help on standardizing gauges.

• Select the Oven Burn Moisture Determination check box to perform a Moisture Content test.

• Select the Oversize Rock Correction check box to apply a correction factor to the Max Dry Density (pcf) and Optimum Moisture (%). The system will automatically mark this true if a proctor has been selected where the Lab has indicated that Field rock corrections are needed. This can be overridden if a rock correction is not needed. 

Notes / Costs / WBS

• Report Notes are reportable notes on the customer report
• Internal notes are not reportable
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) can be assigned if configured

Save Test

• Once all required fields have been complete, select Save Test.
• If any required fields have not been complete, MetaField will first highlight the section the missing fields are in.
  
• Open a red highlighted section to complete the test.
