HEAVY COMPACTION TEST

Heavy Compaction Test Apparatus

• Product Code :  MSI 3020)

• Standard Used :  IS 2720 (Part 8) 

Formally standardized for the determination of water content-dry density relation of soils using heavy compaction (Modified Proctor).

Product Description
The Multitech Scientific Instruments MSI 3020 Heavy Compaction Test Apparatus is an industrial-grade laboratory setup designed to establish the maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) of soils subjected to high structural loads. Commonly known as the Modified Proctor Test, this apparatus applies a significantly higher compaction effort than standard tests. It is essential for modern civil engineering applications where heavy wheel loads or high structural stresses are anticipated, ensuring the soil substrate achieves maximum stability and load-bearing performance.

• Features

  • High-Capacity 2250cc Mould: Precision-machined cylindrical body engineered to exact dimensional standards to eliminate volumetric errors.

  • Controlled-Fall Heavy Rammer: Features a built-in guide sleeve that guarantees a precise 450 mm free drop of the 4.89 kg weight without manual handling errors.

  • Material Flexibility: Supplied natively in heavy-duty hardened tool steel to resist extreme high-impact deformation. Premium, wear-resistant gunmetal moulds are also available as a material variant upon request.

  • Secure Locking System: Features a robust, detachable extension collar and a solid base plate assembly held firmly in place by heavy-duty wing nuts.

• Application

  • Used to determine compaction parameters for heavy-duty infrastructures like expressways, airport runways, earth dams, and deep structural foundations.

  • Critical for testing coarse-grained granular soils and stabilized soil mixtures that require extensive mechanical compaction energy.

  • Deployed widely by highway authorities, commercial testing laboratories, central research stations, and institutional engineering faculties.
