Sand Equivalent Test Sets

Sand Equivalent Test Sets are used to indicate the relative proportions of clay-like fines in granular soils and fine aggregates. Gilson sets include everything required in ASTM and AASHTO test methods to conduct the test except the shaker.

Both Sand Equivalent Sets include four Clear Plastic Graduated Cylinders, a Siphon Assembly, Irrigator Tube, Weighted Foot Assembly, Plastic Funnel, Solid Stopper, 8oz Stock Solution, and Measuring Tin. Each component is available individually for replacement. The SEA-100 set comes in a convenient, vinyl-covered latching plastic case with a carrying handle.
