Soil Cement Tamping Rod is used in the preparation of soil-cement specimens for compressive strength testing in accordance with requirements of ASTM D1632 Method B. A pre-weighed soil-cement sample is first consolidated into the mold assembly using the Tamping Rod, before final consolidation with the HM-228 Dropping Weight Compactor to achieve the required length dimension. The straight steel rod is 0.5x20in (12.7x508mm) Dia.xL.

Product Q&A

Q: How are longer specimens extracted and the piston returned?

Specimens longer than 5in are extracted by repositioning the Adapter Ring after maximum piston travel, and the spring-loaded piston automatically returns to the start position when the release valve is opened.
