Sand Equivalent Shakers

Gilson’s selection of motorized and hand-operated Sand Equivalent Shakers conform to several ASTM, AASHTO, and California test standards. These units agitate samples for the Sand Equivalent Test to determine the level of undesirable clay-like fines in granular soils and fine aggregates. The mechanical shakers can also be used for evaluation of the fines portion of Durability Index Test samples.
