Density Testing - Nuclear Gauges
Table of Contents |

Purpose
Nuclear Gauges used for field Soil Density testing are managed here.
Method Determination
The tables listed below explain the fields that become available depending on the Method selected when managing a nuclear gauge. NOTE: The Radioactive Decay method is only available when the Category selected is Moisture/Density.

Method |
Manual Count methods assume you are maintaining standardization records outside of MetaField. MetaField allows you to create a Manual Count gauge so you can "standardize" one for density tests, but there are no business rules that compare standardization counts to previous counts to determine a pass / fail status of the gauge. | |
