What Are the Core Cutters Used For?
The core cutter method gives the field density of fine grained soils that can be cut cleanly, such as compacted clayey fill free of large stones. With the dolly fitted on top so that the rammer blows do not damage the cutter, the cutter is driven into the soil, then dug out and the soil trimmed flush with both ends. The core is weighed, the known cutter volume gives the bulk density, and a moisture content from the dried soil converts it to dry density for comparison with the compaction specified. The standard listed for it is BS 1377:9.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of core cutter sets required.
- Size — 100 mm dia. × 130 mm or 150 mm dia. × 180 mm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which core cutter sizes are available?
Two versions are offered: a cutter of 100 mm dia. × 130 mm high and a 150 mm dia. × 180 mm core.
What does each set contain?
Each set includes the core cutter, a driving dolly and a driving rammer, all made of steel protected against corrosion.
How is the density calculated?
The extracted core is trimmed, weighed and dried; dividing its mass by the cutter volume gives the bulk density, and the moisture content converts this to dry density.
Which standard is quoted for the core cutters?
The standard listed for them is BS 1377:9, under which they are used for in-situ density and moisture content work on soil.
