Electrical Density Gauge H-6500.3F

Humboldt’s next generation, Non-Nuclear, soil density, field and in-lab gauge, the EDGe (model e). The EDGe provides Nuclear-Free, Field Density Measurements Based On In-Lab Proctor Test Data.

The new EDGe will determine the density and moisture content of aggregate, soil aggregate, compacted type I or II base, or native soil materials that are suitable for shallow foundations, such as secondary roads or base aggregate that is compacted in-place prior to asphalt or concrete placement in the final grade. The EDGe quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) system is lightweight, easy to use, and nuclear free.

Humboldt's EDGe Starter Kit Includes:

• 1 unit for use in the lab determining Proctor values

• 1 unit for the field for on-site measurements

• [Click Here] HUMBOLDT Electrical Density Gauge

The EDGe system requires both the lab unit and the field unit to complete the testing process, which can be purchased by purchasing the EDGe Starter Unit, H-6500.3F. These two separate units work together in conjunction with the Microsoft app to ensure precise and accurate measurements. The lab unit correlates the Proctor test data of a representative aggregate/soil sample, while the field unit provides corresponding readings of the same material in real-world conditions. Both units are essential—without them, the test cannot be completed. You can purchase additional units to run multiple tests at the same time see below for more info.

The Lab Unit provides you with the tools to take readings directly from Proctor molds while performing a six-inch diameter Proctor tests. The Field Unit is lightweight and comes in a carrying case for easy transport and storage. Both units are nuclear free, which eliminates the need for radiation safety compliance regimens and transportation restrictions. The EDGe is simple to use and allows any of your employees to be quickly trained.

The advantages of using the EDGe are:

Complies with AASHTO T399
Nuclear-free device
Accurate and repeatable results that link directly to Proctor tests of your own material
Does not require highly trained or licensed technicians
Does not require special handling for shipping or regulatory compliance for hazardous materials
Easy-to-learn and easy-to-use with its step-by-step menu
Lightweight and easily transportable
Eliminates costs and safety concerns associated with nuclear gauges

EDGe Lab Unit H-6500L.3F

The laboratory aggregate calibration procedure involves electrical testing of a representative sample of the construction aggregate or soil materials while performing either an ASTM D1557 Standard Test Method for Laboratory Compaction using a Modified Effort of 56,000 ft-lbf/cubic foot or the ASTM D698 Standard Test Method for Laboratory Compaction using a Standard Effort of 12,000 ft-lbf/cubic.

During the laboratory test, the EDGe lab-sensor and a Windows 10 laptop or tablet are used to collect and manage the physical and electrical data during the Proctor test.

The software generates a Proctor curve that displays the maximum dry density at the calculated optimum moisture content and is saved and typically printed for client reports.

The empirically-derived correlations relate the electrical and physical properties of the aggregate or soil that is scheduled for placement and compaction on construction project sites, such as road construction or other shallow foundation.

The physical and electrical data from the Proctor test is saved on the laboratory laptop computer.

This data can then be transferred to a ruggedized field Windows 10 tablet by USB stick, a cloud service, or via wireless connection for use with the EDGe field equipment for quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) testing and construction quality certification.

EDGe Field Unit H-6500F.3F

The EDGe field unit is a portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear devices. It uses a lightweight, case for easy transport and storage. Just grab the case and you're off to your testing site.

During the field quality assurance/quality control testing, the EDGe field-sensor and a ruggedized Windows 10 tablet or computer manages the project data.

The EDGe field hardware is used along with the EDGe field sensor and a tablet to test the density and moisture of the construction materials.

In the field, the EDGe measures the electrical properties of the aggregate and calculates physical properties by utilizing the established relationship of the electrical and physical characteristics from the Proctor calibration test of the same aggregate performed in the laboratory.

Field tests take a few minutes to perform, and the material properties are displayed in real-time, as well as being saved for reports.

The EDGe field reports provide the user and/or client with quality assurance/quality control data that includes the compacted material dry density, wet density, the percent moisture content, relative compaction, date, time, GPS coordinates and a location map.

The client reports can include additional project information such as the project name and number, the EDGe field sensor's unique identification number, the EDGe operator’s name, the company name, and other information in the remarks section, such weather conditions, if needed.

The EDGe App is available free from the Microsoft App Store.

This app allows you to operate both the Lab and Field units of the EDGe, as well as provides the field unit with the lab Proctor data. In the field, the app will record dry density, wet density, percent moisture content, relative compaction, date; time, GPS coordinates and generate a location map.

This data is routinely used for construction QA/QC certification reporting.

The app can generate the reports in a PDF format, which can be saved or shared with others.
