The EKE 1400 Permeameter Stand , when used tighter with EKE 1401 Φ 4” or EKE 1402 Φ 6”
Compaction Permeameter is used for determining the water permeability of compacted soil specimens like clay, sand, gravel etc

Proctor Penetrometer
Ref. Standard : ASTM D 1558

EKE 164:

The instrument consists of a needle attached to a spring loaded  plunger , the stem of which is calibrated to read 0 to 40 kg division. Long stem is gradated at every 12.5 mm to read depth of penetration and for use with needles of larger areas. The small penetration stem is also graduation in 12.5 mm

EKE16401 Needle Point Set, Comprising one each of 0.25 , 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3.5 cross sectional area and 6 cm² , and a Tommy Pin Complete as above in a carrying case.

Proctor Penetrometer (Hydraulic Type)
Ref. Standard : ASTM D 1558

EKE 165:

The instrument consists of a needle attached to a spring loaded  plunger , the stem of which is calibrated to read 0 to 40 kg division. Long stem is gradated at every 12.5 mm to read depth of penetration and for use with needles of larger areas. The small penetration stem is also graduation in 12.5 mm

The penetration pressure on the needle is conveyed through a hydraulic system to a hydraulic pressure gauge. The system permits a greater control over rate of penetration because of better  visibility of load indication on the gauge.

Comprises  hydraulic proctor needle system complete with a pressure gauge fixed at easily readable angle reading 0-70 kg x 2 kg. A set of needle points is supplied as a part of standard supply.

EKE16401 Needle Point Set, Comprising one each of 0.25 , 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3.5 cross sectional area and 6 cm² , and a Tommy Pin Complete as above in a carrying case.

Pocket Penetrometer
Ref. Standard : ASTM D 1558 D2573

EKE 166:

This instrument is used to estimate approximate unconfined compressive strength and the estimation to shear strength of soil. Cohesive soils can also classified in terms of consistency using this penetrometer. This is a handy and convenient instrument.

It consists of a light weight barrel assembly with a polished and ground steel loading piston plunger. A direct reading scales is engraved on the piston barrel and indicates in kg/sq. cm. A maximum load indicator ring is provided on the penetration.  

Pinhole Test Apparatus
Ref. Standard : BS 1377:5; ASTM D4647

EKE 1500:

EKE 1502 PVC Tubing Φ10x8 mm 10 cm Coil

Water flowing through fine- grained soils with high sodium content makes them highly erodible.

The EKE 1500  Pinhole Test Apparatus is used for evaluating the erodibility of clay soils by flowing water through a small hole that is drilled through the compacted specimen.

The apparatus consists of  a cylindrical metal container fitted one end with a water inlet and the other end with outlet connection, a standpipe tube with scale and a stand or support the apparatus
