6in Soil Density Mold Sets

6in Soil Density Mold Sets are used for Proctor Compaction tests for determining soil moisture-density relationship and can be used with soil compaction hammers and HM-530 Mechanical Soil Compactors. Complete Mold Sets include body, detachable extension collar, and base plate. Molds are 6in (152mm) nominal diameter, 4.584in (116.4mm) in height, and are made of rugged heavy steel, clear-zinc plated for resistance to rust.
