Specification :

Elite Lab is manufacturer and Supplier of Proctor Needle in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Kolkata, Patna and Ranchi India For rapid determination of the maximum soil density in the field, Proctor Needles (Spring Type) are the tool of choice. Standard compaction curves showing moisture content and density are developed in the laboratory using the penetration of proctor needles and then correlated. Some people refer to Proctor needles as Proctor Penetrometers.

The following are the product's specifications:

  • A needle and a spring-loaded plunger make up this device.
  • The stem is calibrated on a calibrated scale to read from 0 to 40 kgs in divisions of 1 kg.

In order to assess how deep the needle has entered and to utilise needles that cover a larger area, the long stem is graded every 12.5mm.

As with the big penetration steam, this steam is also divided into 12mm parts and utilised with needles that have a smaller penetration area than the last. Elite Lab is also Exporter of Proctor Needle in Kolkata India.
