Core cutters (Product Code: SLE/CE/70) are open steel cylinders driven into the ground to cut out an intact soil core of known volume, used to measure the in-place density and moisture content of compacted fills and natural soils. Highway and building site laboratories use the set — core cutter, driving dolly and driving rammer — in 100 x 130 mm or 150 x 180 mm sizes. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Core Cutter Used For?

A small patch of the layer is levelled, the cutter is stood upright with the dolly on top, and the rammer drives both down until the cutter is completely filled. The dolly protects the cutter's rim and lets it sink just below the surface. The cutter is then dug out, its ends trimmed flush, and the core weighed; a portion is dried to find the moisture content, from which the dry density follows.

Comparing that field dry density with the laboratory maximum shows whether an embankment, subgrade or earth-fill layer has been compacted enough. The method suits fine-grained soils that hold together in the cutter; stony or loose dry soils need other techniques. Institutions buying from an engineering lab equipment manufacturer often order several cutters so student teams can test different fill layers at once.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Size: 100 x 130 mm or 150 x 180 mm, or both
• Number of complete sets (cutter, dolly and rammer) and any extra cutters
• Delivery location for site laboratories or college campuses

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a Core cutters set?
A Core cutters set includes the core cutter itself, a driving dolly that sits on top of the cutter, and a driving rammer used to drive the assembly into the soil. All are steel, protected against corrosion.

What sizes are the Core cutters available in?
Core cutters are available in two versions: 100 mm diameter x 130 mm high, and 150 mm diameter x 180 mm. The larger cutter takes a bigger core, which can be useful when a layer's density varies from spot to spot.

How is dry density calculated from a Core cutters sample?
With Core cutters, the mass of soil in the cutter divided by the cutter's internal volume gives the bulk density. Dividing that by one plus the moisture content, measured on a dried portion of the core, gives the dry density.

Which soils are suitable for testing with Core cutters?
Core cutters work best in fine-grained, cohesive soils without stones, which stay in the cutter when it is dug out. Gravelly, stony or loose dry sandy soils tend to fall out or damage the rim, so other field density methods are preferred there.

Who manufactures the Core cutters?
The Core cutters are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and are sold factory-direct with quotations issued by the manufacturer.

Can Core cutters be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes, Core cutters can be quoted in multiple sets for contractors and institutions and shipped within India or to international markets. Include the sizes, number of sets and delivery destination in your enquiry.

Load ring penetrometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/71) is a hand-pushed cone penetrometer used to measure the bearing strength and degree of compaction of soils on site and in soil laboratories. Engineers and students push its 30° cone, with a 645 mm² base area, into the ground by a T-handle while a 1 kN (100 kgf) load ring with a maximum-load pointer captures the peak resistance. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM laboratory instrument manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Load Ring Penetrometer Used For?

The operator stands over the test spot, grips the T-handle and pushes the cone steadily into the soil. The graduations on the extension rod show how deep the cone has gone in 100 mm steps, while the maximum-load pointer stays at the highest reading on the ring so it can be noted after the cone is withdrawn. The calibration chart converts that reading into force, and dividing by the cone area gives the penetration resistance.

Because a reading takes only moments, the instrument is ideal for mapping how evenly a fill or subgrade has been compacted, finding soft spots before CBR or plate load tests, and checking ground conditions for vehicle access or farm soil studies. As educational laboratory equipment in India, it gives students a quick, hands-on feel for soil strength. Keep the rod vertical and push at an even speed for comparable results.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597) trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM of this load ring penetrometer. The instrument is manufactured at the company's licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

It is supplied factory-direct to highway laboratories, agricultural and engineering colleges, dealers and importers, and questions about replacement cones or extension rods go straight to the manufacturer — ask us. See our company profile for more.

Proctor penetrometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/72) is a spring-dynamometer needle penetrometer used to establish the relationship between moisture content and penetration resistance of fine-grained soils, in compaction testing and for checking rolled fills. Soil laboratories use it with nine interchangeable needles, from 28.55 mm down to 4.52 mm diameter, reading the push on a 0 to 55 kg scale. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Proctor Penetrometer Used For?

In the laboratory, a needle is pushed steadily into each compacted specimen as the compaction test proceeds, and the maximum force — held by the sliding ring — is divided by the needle's end area to give penetration resistance. Plotting resistance against water content produces a curve that sits alongside the compaction curve. On site, a quick push into the rolled fill can then be compared with that curve to judge whether the fill was placed too wet or too dry.

Swapping needles keeps readings within the 0 to 55 kg scale: broad needles for soft, wet soil and slender ones for stiff, dry soil. For lab equipments for technical institutes, it shows students clearly how moisture changes soil strength. Clean each needle after use and store the set in order of size so the right end area is always used in calculations.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, manufactures the Proctor penetrometer as its own OEM product at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is shipped factory-direct to soil laboratories, universities, polytechnics, dealers and importers.

Dial penetrometers (Product Code: SLE/CE/73) are compact handheld penetrometers used to evaluate the angle of internal friction of sandy soils and the cohesion of clay soils in trial pits, sample tubes and soil laboratories. Engineers and students press one of five plungers, from 6.35 mm to 25 mm tip diameter, into the soil and read a 60 mm dial that holds the peak value. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific instruments manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Dial Penetrometer Used For?

Choose a plunger to suit the ground — a broad tip for soft clay or loose sand, a slender one for stiff material — then hold the instrument square to the soil face and press it in with a steady push. The peak hold keeps the highest reading on the dial after the plunger is withdrawn, and a press of the button returns the needle to zero for the next test. Readings are then related to cohesion in clays or friction angle in sands.

Because it weighs only about 300 g, the instrument fits in a field bag for logging trial pits, checking the ends of sample tubes or comparing layers in an excavation. It is an index test that complements, rather than replaces, laboratory shear tests. Among laboratory instruments in India for soil teaching, it is one of the quickest ways to show strength differences. Take several readings at each spot and average them.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Scale version: 0 to 14 kgf/cm² or dual 0 to 6 / 0 to 11 kgf/cm²
• Number of instruments for your field teams or student groups
• Any additional plungers of particular tip sizes you would like quoted for heavy use

Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised) (Product Code: SLE/CE/74) is a laboratory vane tester used to measure the undrained shear strength of soft, saturated clay specimens that are too weak to trim for other strength tests. Soil laboratories and civil engineering colleges use its 230 V motor and worm gear to turn the vane at a slow 1/60 rpm through a calibrated torsion spring, reading torque on a degree dial. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM lab equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Vane Shear Apparatus Used For?

The clay sample, in the supplied container or still in its 38 mm sampling tube, is set beneath the torque head, and the drive wheel lowers the vane into it. When the motor is switched on, the worm gear slowly winds the torsion spring, which in turn twists the vane. Once the clay shears, the pointer stays at the largest angle reached; multiplying that reading by the spring factor gives the torque, from which the shear strength is worked out using the vane dimensions.

The method suits very soft marine, alluvial and organic clays that would slump in an unconfined compression test, and repeating it on remoulded soil shows the clay's sensitivity. It is a regular part of engineering educational equipments in India for geotechnical practicals. Push the vane in gently and start rotation promptly so the soil around the blades is not disturbed or allowed to consolidate.

OEM Manufacturer

The motorised vane shear apparatus is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Soil mechanics laboratories, universities, research institutes, dealers and importers receive it factory-direct.

Questions about additional torsion springs or sample containers go straight to the manufacturer — ask us and we will advise. Read more on our company profile.

Browse all Civil Engineering Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised) measure?
The Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised) measures the torque needed to shear a soft clay specimen with a rotating vane, from which the undrained shear strength of the clay is calculated. It is especially useful for clays too soft for unconfined compression testing.

At what speed does the Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised) rotate the vane?
The Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised) rotates the vane at 1/60 rpm, which is one revolution per hour, using an electric drive and worm gear that turn the upper end of the calibrated torsion spring.

How is torque read on the Vane Shear Apparatus (Motorised)?

Soil extruder, motor operated (Product Code: SLE/CE/76) is a hydraulic sample extruder used to push soil samples out of sampling tubes in geotechnical and civil engineering laboratories. Soil mechanics labs at universities, polytechnics and site-investigation firms use it for tubes up to 160 mm external diameter, with a 60 kN maximum load and a 900 mm ram stroke. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Soil Extruder Used For?

Soil samples taken in the field are usually brought to the laboratory still inside their sampling tubes. The extruder's hydraulic ram pushes the soil out in a steady, controlled stroke so that specimens can be trimmed for unconfined compression, consolidation, shear or density tests with as little disturbance as possible. Because the ram can be halted anywhere in its travel, the operator can push a short length straight into a smaller sample tube, or cut off one specimen and then continue.

Use the vertical position when floor space is tight and the horizontal position for long tubes that are easier to handle lying down. Fit the adaptor that matches the tube, set a gentle speed with the lever for soft soils, and wipe the ram and V-bearing clean after each sample. As heavy-duty lab equipment for technical institutes, it lets students see how field samples become test specimens.

What to Specify When Ordering

• External diameter of every sampling tube you use (up to 160 mm), so the right tube adaptors can be quoted
• Whether you will work in the vertical position, the horizontal position or both
• The electrical supply available at your laboratory for the 750 W drive
• Floor space for up to 2730 mm length in the horizontal position and a weight of approx. 160 kg

Universal moisture tester (Product Code: SLE/CE/77) is a digital grain-type moisture meter used to take quick moisture-content readings on samples in testing and teaching laboratories. Materials labs, colleges and quality-control rooms use it for fast checks, reading 0 to 70% moisture on a digital display. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a source of test and measurement instruments in India.

Specifications

What Is the Universal Moisture Tester Used For?

Moisture content changes how granular materials weigh, store and behave, so laboratories often need a reading before a sample is batched, stored or tested further. The Universal moisture tester gives that reading directly on its digital display, which is handy for screening many samples in one session or for demonstrating to students how moisture is expressed as a percentage.

In soil and aggregate laboratories, oven drying in moisture tins remains the usual reference method; a direct-reading meter complements it for quick checks rather than replacing it. Take a representative portion, keep the sample and the instrument within the listed temperature range, and repeat readings to confirm consistency. Like other laboratory instruments in India, it should be matched to the materials you test, so tell us your sample types when enquiring.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, sources and supplies this digital moisture tester for laboratory buyers. The company can quote it together with sampling and moisture-content items from its civil engineering range, so one enquiry covers the whole bench set-up.
