This tab is used to specify the compaction information.

 

 

The following can be entered and displayed on this tab:

 

Information

 

Mold Diameter: This is used to specify the mold diameter.

 

Mold Height: This is used to specify the mold height.

 

Mold Mass:  This is used to specify the mold mass.

 

Rammer Type: This is used to select the type of rammer.

 

Method Used: This is used to select the method used.

 

Preparation Method: This is used to select the preparation method.

 

Use Corrected Sample Specific Gravity: The specific gravity can either be specified or determined from a previous specific gravity test. Check this box to use the specific gravity from a previous specific gravity test. If there is no previous specific gravity test for this sample, this box will not be shown.

 

Specific Gravity: If the User Corrected Sample Specific Gravity box is checked this is the previously determined specific gravity, otherwise this is used to specify the specific gravity to the nearest 0.01 value.

 

Use Sample Water Content: The water content can either be specified or determined from a previous water content test. Check this box to use the water content from a previous water content test. If there is no previous water content test for this sample, this box will not be shown.

 

As-Received Water Content: If the Use Sample Water Content box is checked this is the previously determined water content, otherwise the as-received water content should be specified.

 

Sieve Used: This is used to select the sieve used.

 

Use Sample Sieve Analysis: The percent passing can either be specified or determined from a previous sieve analysis. Check this box to use the percent passing from a previous sieve analysis. If there is no previous sieve analysis for this sample, this box will not be shown.

 

Percent Passing: If the Use Sample Sieve Analysis box is checked this is the previously determined percent passing from a sieve analysis, otherwise this is used to specify the percent passing.

 

Units

 

Length Units: This is used to select the units for length.

 

Mass Units: This is used to select the units for mass.

 

Weight Units: This is used to select the units for unit weight.

 

Density Units: This is used to select the units for density.
