Water Filling Method Tester GSY-1

Product Overview

The Water Filling Method Tester GSY-1 is a professional soil testing instrument used to determine the in-situ density of coarse-grained soil and rockfill materials. It adopts the water filling method to measure the volume of test pits and calculate the density of soil materials accurately.

This field density testing equipment is widely used in highway construction, railway engineering, earthwork projects, hydraulic engineering, and geotechnical quality inspection. It is an ideal instrument for evaluating the compaction quality of roadbeds, embankments, and other filling materials.

HEBEI CLOUD IMPORT AND EXPORT CO., LTD. provides reliable soil testing equipment solutions for laboratories, construction companies, and engineering inspection organizations worldwide.

Applications

The Water Filling Method Tester GSY-1 is mainly used for:

• Field density testing of coarse-grained soil
• Compaction quality inspection of roadbeds
• Density measurement of rockfill and gravel materials
• Earthwork construction quality control
• Geotechnical engineering testing

It is commonly applied in:

• Highway construction projects
• Railway foundation projects
• Water conservancy and dam construction
• Building foundation engineering
• Soil testing laboratories

Testing Principle

The GSY-1 Water Filling Method Tester works based on the water replacement principle.

During testing, a test pit is excavated in the tested soil layer. The volume of the pit is measured by filling it with water through the testing apparatus. By combining the measured pit volume with the mass of the excavated soil sample, the field density of the material can be calculated.

This method provides an effective solution for density testing of materials that are not suitable for traditional sand cone methods.

Key Features

Accurate Field Density Measurement

The instrument provides reliable test results for coarse-grained soil, gravel, and rockfill materials used in engineering projects.

Suitable for Large Particle Materials

Compared with conventional density testing methods, the water filling method is especially suitable for materials containing larger particles.
