Field CBR Test Set

Product Code : EL-STLE-10380

Field CBR Test Set (code EL-STLE-10380) is a CBR test assembly built for two uses, testing soil in place in the field and testing specimens in the laboratory. With a vehicle bracket it is used to determine the bearing capacity of road construction soils in place, and its frame can instead be assembled with the main components into a hand operated laboratory CBR machine.

Specifications

What Is the Field CBR Test Set Used For?

The California Bearing Ratio expresses the resistance of a soil to penetration by a standard piston as a percentage of the resistance of a standard crushed stone, and road pavement thicknesses are designed from it. A field test measures that resistance on the soil as it lies, without the disturbance of sampling, while a laboratory test is made on compacted specimens. For field use the set is mounted with the vehicle bracket, so that the vehicle provides the reaction for the piston; in the laboratory the same frame is built up into a hand operated CBR machine.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity — the number of field CBR sets required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the set be used in the laboratory as well as on site?
Yes. It is a dual purpose assembly: in the field it works with a vehicle bracket, and for laboratory testing the frame is assembled with the main components into a hand operated CBR machine.

What is the field configuration used for?
It is used for in-situ determination of the bearing capacity of soils used in road construction, with the test components mounted on a vehicle bracket.

Which standards are quoted for the set?
The standards listed are ASTM D883 and D3668, BS 1377:4 and BS 1924, AASHTO T193, CNR UNI 10009 and NF P94-078.

What information does an export enquiry need?
An export enquiry should give the quantity of sets, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing requirements and any tender reference.
