The Manual Liquid Limit Apparatus (Casagrande) are used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from plastic to liquid state. The devices consist of an adjustable crank and cam mechanism, a blow counter and a removable brass cup fitted on the base.
Product Description
The Manual Liquid Limit Apparatus (Casagrande) are used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from plastic to liquid state. The devices consist of an adjustable crank and cam mechanism, a blow counter and a removable brass cup fitted on the base.
● Brass Cup: The cup is made of brass and has standardized dimensions to hold the soil paste during testing.
● Counter:A counter is integrated into the apparatus to keep track of the number of rotations or blows applied during the test.This is essential for accurately determining the liquid limit.
● Grooving Tool:A grooving tool is provided to create a standardized groove in the soil paste. This groove serves as a reference point to observe the soil's behavior as it transitions from plastic to liquid state.
