M&L Testing Equipment’s nuclear moisture-density gauge can be used in field applications to determine soil compaction, as well as density and moisture readings. For a nuclear-free alternative take a look at M&L Testing Equipment’s Electrical Density Gauge, which provides compaction readings without the need for operator certification and safety concerns. For testing compaction uniformity and stiffness, M&L Testing Equipment provides the HD-4129.3F lightweight deflectometer and the GeoGauge, both provide accurate and established methods for this type of soil testing. Also available are plate load testers used to determine bearing capacity of soil under varying load conditions.
