This brief instructional video by David Anderson covers two different tests for measuring the in-place density and moisture content of soils: sand cone test and nuclear density gauge test.
We've used an electrical drill to make a hole instead of punching one because it can be very laboring to pull the punching rod out when it comes to very stiff clay.
How doese anyone think it is a good idea to extend the rod before the unit is placed? I absolutely never extend the rod unless it is going directly into the hole I made. The ignorance is amazing.
Get over yourself that source is self incapsulated five times about.... there is seriously no high risk associated with extending the rod so that you c an ensure proper lineup... I’m sure you collapse yourself holes a lot
@@peaceandwealthseeker4504 that's beside the point. It's in direct conflict with any Agreement State and the Federal Radiation Safety guidelines and ALARA principles. I saw a State Radiation Safety Division guy suspend the RML of a whole damn branch office because he saw their employee in the field doing exactly that for several days in a row. Audited them to within an inch of their lives. Complacency is what kills people on the job faster than anything.
