About Liquid limit devices
Unlike common consumer electronics, there isn't a universal "product code" for a Liquid Limit Device that is consistent across all manufacturers and suppliers. Instead, each manufacturer or supplier will have their own internal
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) or
model number for their specific versions of the device.
Precision Engineering for Reliable Soil TestingThis liquid limit device is designed for accurate soil property evaluation, equipped with a precisely machined 55 mm brass cup and sturdy mild steel housing. Its counter mechanism and mechanical scale make data collection straightforward, supporting routine laboratory operations with ease and consistency.
Durable Construction & Easy OperationConstructed with a hard rubber base, powder-coated mild steel frame, and a robust brass cup, this manual soil testing equipment ensures long-term use. The hand-crank mechanism allows manual control, ensuring flexibility without the need for electrical power, making it suitable for various laboratory conditions.
FAQ's of Liquid limit devices:
Q: How does the Casagrande Liquid Limit Device determine the liquid limit of soil?
A: The device determines the liquid limit by measuring the number of blows required for a soil sample in the brass cup to close a standard groove over a specified distance, as per IS:2720 (Part V). The hand-crank mechanism delivers approximately 120 blows per minute, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of this device?
A: The device is primarily made of mild steel with a durable powder-coated finish. Its cup is constructed from brass, ensuring corrosion resistance, while the base is made of hard rubber for stability and longevity, making it ideal for repeated laboratory use.
Q: When should a liquid limit test be performed using this equipment?
A: A liquid limit test should be performed during soil classification in geotechnical investigations, construction projects, or whenever understanding the soil's plasticity and moisture content is essential for engineering analysis and design decisions.
Q: Where is this liquid limit device typically used?
A: This equipment is primarily used in soil testing laboratories, research institutions, and civil engineering departments across India and internationally, wherever precise soil property evaluation is required.
Q: What is the process for using the Casagrande Liquid Limit Device?
A: Place the soil sample into the brass cup, create a standardized groove using the provided tool, and operate the hand crank to allow the cup to rise and fall. Count the number of blows needed for the groove to close over the standard distance to determine the soil's liquid limit.
Q: What are the benefits of using this manual liquid limit device?
A: Key benefits include reliable compliance with IS:2720 (Part V), accuracy with a mechanical scale and counter, robust and durable construction, ease of use, and no requirement for external power. Its manual operation and sturdy design make it suitable for frequent laboratory testing.
Q: Does the device come with any warranty or after-sales support?
A: Yes, the Casagrande Liquid Limit Device is supplied with a 1-year warranty, and as an experienced manufacturer, exporter, and service provider, comprehensive support and assistance are available for installation and use.
