6in Soil Density Mold Sets

6in Soil Density (Proctor) Mold Sets for compaction of soil specimens for moisture-density relationship tests 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 made of rugged heavy steel, clear-zinc plated for resistance to rust.
