About Density Basket

For Density Tests on Aggregates as per Procedure Laid Down.

Specification:Made of Brass/Gl with Stainless steel Wire Mesh 6.3mm/4.75mm size Ruggedly Constructed, Approximately 20cm dia x 20cm high. Complete with Handle.

Engineered for Reliable Laboratory Performance

Designed for civil engineering and construction material testing, the density basket offers a rigid, corrosion-resistant build suited for demanding laboratory conditions. Its cylindrical mesh design ensures rapid drainage and accurate immersion for aggregate specimens, all while maintaining consistent performance across a broad temperature and humidity range.

Precision Testing Made Simple

This manual density basket allows for instant response in aggregate testing, relying on the user and an accurate weighing balance for specific gravity or density measurements. Its standardized dimensions and handle type facilitate easy immersion and retrieval during the test process, supporting reliable results for a range of aggregate sizes.

Versatile and Convenient Construction

Crafted from high-hardness stainless steel or brass, the basket promises longevity and robustness in frequent laboratory use. Its lightweight construction, ergonomic handle, and polished surface make it easy to use and maintain, while its packaging ensures safe transport and storage for suppliers and exporters.

FAQ's of Density Basket:

Q: How is the density basket used in aggregate testing?

A: The density basket is used to measure the specific gravity or density of aggregates by suspending a specimen in water and obtaining its weight using a weighing balance. The open mesh design allows water to drain rapidly, ensuring accurate results during the manual test process.

Q: What types of materials is this density basket suitable for?

A: This basket is designed for aggregates and similar materials commonly tested in civil engineering and construction material laboratories, following standard procedures as per IS and ASTM guidelines.

Q: When should I use a stainless steel versus brass mesh density basket?

A: Both materials provide high corrosion resistance and durability. Stainless steel baskets are ideal for harsher environments due to increased hardness and longevity, while brass mesh may be selected based on laboratory preference or specific test requirements.

Q: Where can the density basket be used?

A: It is suitable for use in standard laboratory conditions found in civil engineering and material testing labs, withstanding typical temperature and humidity levels without compromising integrity.

Q: What is the benefit of the mesh design in the density basket?

A: The fine mesh ensures rapid draining and prevents water retention with the aggregate sample, aiding in achieving accurate density or specific gravity measurements during the testing process.

Q: How many samples can be tested at a time with this basket?

A: The density basket is built for single-specimen testing at a time, matching standard aggregate testing protocols to ensure precision and repeatability.

Q: What maintenance is required for the density basket?

A: Minimal maintenance is needed thanks to its polished, corrosion-resistant finish. Simply clean with water after each use and store in a dry environment to preserve its condition.
