IMPACT SOIL TESTER TYPE CIST/883

 The 4.5 Kg CIST/883 Clegg Impact Soil Tester manufactured by SDi provides an easy and straightforward means for measuring and controlling soil strength and consolidation levels during trench reinstatement. The 883 readout is clamped to the guide tube, and the displayed reading is viewed from the top during use. Single button operation design provided for easy use. Optional Data Logging On board data logging and data storage with BluetoothTM transfer are optionally supplied options for this instrument. When fitted users can download their test results from site to PC, wirelessly, using the PC software supplied. The instrument is used to confirm uniform compaction over wide areas of ground, identifying poorly compacted areas and ineffective rolling of materials. The Tester consists of a 4.5 kg compaction hammer operating within a vertical guide tube. The Hammer falls through the tube when released and strikes the surface under test, decelerating at a rate determined by the stiffness of the material within the region of impact. The readout registers the deceleration in units of Impact Value (IV). The IV is an indication of soil strength. Specifications:  Model Number: CIST/883/4K5 (no data logging) or CIST/883/4K5/Stor/Blu (with data logging). Hammer Weight: 4.5 Kg. Bumble Bee Guide Tube: Strong Anodised Yellow Aluminium, Black Acetal Base Flange & Handle. Readout Display (alphanumeric): Vertical display with readout unit clamped to Guide Tube – Easy to view.

Data Storage in Readout (with optional Stor/Blu fitment): Flash Memory for up to 10,000 5-drop test readings. Each field contains the 5 drop IV readings, time & date of each test & result validity pass/fail flag. Data Transfer Method (with optional Stor/Blu fitment): Bluetooth™ Wireless data transfer.
