- The Proctor Set is used to determine the relationship between molding water content and dry unit weight of soils, commonly known as the compaction curve. This relationship is essential for identifying the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of soil, which are critical parameters in geotechnical engineering and construction projects.
- The apparatus includes a cylindrical mold, a detachable collar, a base plate, and a rammer. The soil sample is compacted in layers within the mold using the rammer dropped from a specified height, simulating field compaction conditions.
- Two primary test methods are utilized: the Standard Proctor Test and the Modified Proctor Test. The Standard Proctor Test applies a lower compaction effort, suitable for soils with lower strength requirements, while the Modified Proctor Test uses a higher compaction effort, appropriate for soils in high-load applications.
- The Proctor Set is manufactured in compliance with international standards, ensuring reliable and repeatable results across various soil types and project requirements
- All components are made from steel and coated against corrosion, ensuring durability and reliability for prolonged laboratory use.
- The mould body is supplied complete with a collar and base plate, allowing secure preparation of soil samples during testing
- Manufactured from steel with an anti-corrosion coating
- Mould is comprised of mould body, collar, and base plate
- The set consists of a mould and a rammer
