1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards


Institution on 23 April 1984, after the draft finalized by the Soil
Engineering and Rock, Mechanics Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 The Indian Standards Institution has already published a series of
standards on methods of testing soils. It has been recognized that rehable
and inter-comparable test results can be obtained only with standard
testing equipment capable of giving the desired level of accuracy. The
Sectional Committee has, therefore, decided to brmg out a series of
specifications covering the requirements of equipment used for testing
soils to encourage its development and manufacture in the country.
0.3 The equipment covered in this standard is used in the apparatus for
determination of density index of cohesionless of soils covered in IS : 2720
( Part 14 )-1983*, using vibratory table.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2- 19607. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.

the laboratory determination of density index ( relative density ) of
cohesionless free draining soils using vibratory table.
2. DIMENSIONS
2.1 Dimensions with tolerances of different equipment shall be as detailed
in Fig. 1 to 5. Except where tolerances are specifically mentioned against
the d’imensions, all dimensions shall be taken as nominal dimensions and
tolerances as given in TS : 2102 ( Part 1 )-1980* ( medium class ).

4. CONSTRUCTION
4.1 Mould - The mould shall be smooth from inside and shall have two
handles either cast integral with the body or welded. The moulds shall
be of capacity 3 000 cm3 and 15 000 cm3 as detailed in Fig. 1.
4.2 Guide Sleeve - The inside of the sleeve shall be finished smooth
and one is provided with each mould. Two of the three set screws on
the clamp assembly shall be provided with lock nuts. The details of
guide sleeve for two capacities of mould are given in Fig. 2.
4.3 Surcharge Base Plates with Handles - The surcharge base plate
is provided with each mould as detailed in Fig. 3. The details of handle
for both sizes are given in Fig. 4.
4.4 Surcharge Weight - The surcharge weight as detailed in Fig. 5 is
provided with each mould. The body shall be filled with lead from
bottom to have a specified weight as mentioned in Fig. 5.
5. MARKING
5.1 The following information shall be clearly and indelibly marked on
each part of equipment:
a) Name of the manufacturer or his registered trade-mark;
b) Type of material used; and
c) Date of manufacture.
5.1.1 The equipment may also be marked with the IS1 Certification
Mark.
NOTE - The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder. The IS1 Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements
of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality
control which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer. IS1
marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that
standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the
else of the IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors,
may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution
