SAND EQUIVALENT VALUE TEST

This test method assigns an empirical value to the relative amount, fineness, and character of clay like material present in the test specimen.This test method provides a rapid field method for determining changes in the quality of aggregates during production or placement.The term “sand equivalent” expresses the concept that most granular soils and some fine aggregates are mixtures of desirable coarse particles, sand-size particles, and generally undesirable clay or plastic fines and dust.

Sir why r taken 480.4 g Nacl , glycerine 2179g & formaldehyde 49.7g

[@HIGHWAYGUIDE]

As per codal provision

Quatering kya hai yaha

Why you subtracted 250 from 328 reading?

[@HIGHWAYGUIDE]

As the weighted foot comes to rest on the sand, tip the assembly towards the graduations on the cylinder until the indicator touches the in- side of the cylinder.Indicator assembly is exactly 250 mm from bottom of tip , subtract 250 mm from the level indicated by the extreme top edge of the indicator and record this value as the ‘sand reading’.

Specified limit ?

[@HIGHWAYGUIDE]

Should be more than 50

[@manirajsinghparihar3310]

@@HIGHWAYGUIDE which code is written in Limit?

[@cravikumar147]

what is the unit of sand equivalent value and what is the specification limit.

[@HIGHWAYGUIDE]

It is ratio hence no unit

[@cravikumar147]

Thanks for your reply and quick response.
