Testing And Calibration India Opc Private Limited (Testncal Laboratory)

Soil inspection or say geotechnical inspection is very important in understanding the physical properties of soil and the rocks beneath. This is required to ascertain the the type of foundation required for the proposed construction. Various tests are done to explore the sub surface and surface characteristics of soil .Some of these are given below.

1) Water Content – There are two test which can be done to determine the water content of soil. These are
a) Calcium Carbide Method
b) Oven Drying Method
Other tests on soil are :
2) Free Swell Index Of Soil
3) Plastic Limit Of Soil
4) Liquid Limit Of Soil
5) Particle Size Distribution Of Soil

Soil resistivity testing measures the capacity of the ground to pass an electrical current. This property utilises the electrical power industry for assessing the design requirements of earthing systems. SUMO provides soil resistivity testing services to assist in the design and installation of power generation plant, substations and engineering infrastructure.

Soil Investigation or geotechnical investigation is a procedure that determines the stratigraphy (study of rocks) and relevant physical properties of the soil underlying the site. This is done to ensure that this substructure, which is eventually going to hold up homes, is safe and enduring.

Quality Tests on cement are carried out to check the strength and quality of the cement used in construction. It helps to identify the usage of cement for different purposes based on its durability and performance.

The following tests are conducted on cement in the laboratory are as follows:

1.  Fineness Test
2.  Consistency Test
3.  Setting Time Test
4.  Strength Test
5.  Soundness Test
6.  Heat of Hydration Test
7.  Tensile Strength Test
8.  Chemical Composition Test
