The EDGe quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) system is lightweight, easy to use, and nuclear free. The EDGe consists of two independent units, one for use in the lab and one for field use, which work together with the use of an EDGe app to ensure precise and accurate measurements. The EDGe provides a direct correlation between the Proctor test data of a representative aggregate/soil sample in the lab and readings of the same material in the field. The lab unit provides you with the tools to take readings directly from six- inch Proctor molds, while performing standard or modified Proctor tests. The field unit is lightweight and comes with a ruggedized backpack for easy transport and storage. Both units are nuclear free, which eliminates the need for radiation safety compliance regimens and transportation restric- tions. The EDGe is simple to use. The Advantages of Using the EDGe Are: • Complies with AASHTO TP112 and is an enhancement of ASTM D7698 that includes a laboratory aggregate calibration procedure • Nuclear-free device • Accurate and repeatable results that correlate to either ASTM D1557 or ASTM D698 standard Proctor tests • Does not require highly trained or licensed technicians • Does not require special handling for shipping or regulatory compliance for hazardous materials • Easy-to-learn and easy-to-use with its step-by-step menu • Lightweight and easily transportable • Eliminates costs associated with nuclear gauges Tablet not included. EDGe Software Features: • Download job data • Save and share customized reports in PDF format • Operate both the Lab and Field Unit • Provide the Field Unit with Proctor Data • Time/Date, GPS stamps for each test • Generate a location map • Computer/Tablet Required, but not included EDGe App The EDGe App is available free from the Microsoft App Store. This app allows you to operate both the Lab and Field units of the EDGe, as well as provides the field unit with the lab Proctor data. In the field, the app will record dry density, wet density, percent moisture content, relative compaction, date; time, GPS coordinates and generate a location map. This data is routinely used for construction QA/QC certification reporting. The app can generate the reports in a PDF format, which can be saved or shared with others. Lab Set-Up Tablet not included.www.humboldtmfg.com • 1.800.544.7220 • 708.468.6300 SOIL FIELD 21Electrical Density Gauge EDGe Lab Unit - H-6500L.3F The laboratory aggregate calibration procedure involves electrical testing of a representative sample of the construction aggregate or soil materials while performing either an ASTM D1557 Standard Test Method for Lab- oratory Compaction using a Modified Effort of 56,000 ft-lbf/cubic foot or the ASTM D698 Standard Test Method for Laboratory Compaction using a Standard Effort of 12,000 ft-lbf/cubic ft. The EDGe lab unit provides you with the tools to take readings directly from six-inch Proctor molds, while performing standard or modified Proctor tests. During the laboratory test, the EDGe lab-sensor and a Windows 10 laptop or tablet are used to collect and manage the physical and electrical data during the Proctor test. The software generates a Proctor curve that dis- plays the maximum dry density at the calculated optimum moisture content and is saved and typically printed for client reports. The empirically derived correlations relate the electrical and physical properties of the aggregate or soil that is scheduled for placement and compaction on construction project sites, such as road construction or other shallow foundation. The physical and electrical data from the Proctor test is saved on the laboratory laptop computer. This data can then be transferred to a ruggedized field Windows 10 tablet by USB stick, a cloud service, or via wireless connection for use with the EDGe field equipment for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) testing and construction quality certification. Proctor Curve Proctor Attributes EDGe Field Unit - H-6500F.3F The EDGe Field Unit is a portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear devices. It uses a lightweight, ruggedized backpack for easy trans- port and storage. Just grab the backpack and you're off to your testing site. During the field quality assurance/quality control testing, the EDGe field-sen- sor and a ruggedized Windows 10 tablet or computer manages the project data. The EDGe field hardware is used along with the EDGe field sensor and a tablet to test the density and moisture of the construction materials. In the field, the EDGe measures the electrical properties of the aggregate and cal- culates physical properties by utilizing the established relationship of the electrical and physical characteristics from the Proctor calibration test of the same aggregate performed in the laboratory. Field tests take a few minutes to perform, and the material properties are displayed in real-time, as well as being saved for reports. The EDGe field reports provide the user and/or cli- ent with quality assurance/quality control data that includes the compacted material dry density, wet density, the percent moisture content, relative com- paction, date, time, GPS coordinates and a location map. The client reports can include additional project information such as the project name and num- ber, the EDGe field sensor’s unique identification number, the EDGe opera- tor’s name, the company name, and other information in he remarks section, such weather conditions, if needed.

The EDG is a portable, bat- tery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear safety. Its user-friendly, step-by-step menu guides the user through each step of the testing procedure and cautions the user when values do not correspond to estab- lished curves for the material being tested. Easy-to-use, the EDG can be used as a construc- tion aid to monitor day-to-day compaction opera- tions by providing performance and measurement results highly comparable to those achieved with traditional methods, including the nuclear gauge and/or a sand-cone and oven moisture test com- bination. A Soil Model should be developed on site to correlating the EDG readings to the material using another known method for measuring den- sity prior to testing. When conducting a test, the EDG measures and displays the results for wet and dry density, gravimetric moisture content and percent compaction, based on a pre-defined Soil Model. The advantages of using the EDG are: • It does not require a highly-trained or licensed technician • It does not require special handling for shipping or the regulatory compliance for hazardous materials • It is easy-to-learn and easy-to-use with its step-by-step menu • Lightweight and easily transportable • It is accurate and repeatable with results that mirror known testing methods The EDG Gauge Includes: Console/Case; 4-tapered 6" darts; hammer; soil sensor and cables; dart template, temperature probe, battery charger, field verifier. Electrical Density Gauge H-4114SD.3F Ship wt. 35lbs (15.8kg) ASTM D7698www.humboldtmfg.com • 1.800.544.7220 • 708.468.6300 24 SOIL FIELD Electrical Density Gauge The EDG measures the electrical dielectric prop- erties and moisture levels of compacted soil using high, radio frequency traveling between darts driven into the soil being tested. The dart’s depth of penetration positively determines the depth of measurement. Darts are available in 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" lengths. In addition, the darts have been designed with a taper, which ensures a con- tinual positive contact with the soil for accurate measurements. During the testing procedure, four tapered elec- trodes (darts) are driven into the ground in a cross pattern using the supplied template. Between the two sets of two tapered darts, four point-to-point electrical measurements are made and the electri- cal characteristics averaged. The dielectric prop- erties that are measured by the unit are compared to a “soil model”, which has been developed and programed into the unit prior to testing. These soil models are required only once for each soil type. The soil model is used as a calibration reference during the testing procedure. It is developed by establishing a curve of measured dielectric prop- erties for different densities and moisture combi- nations of the actual soil to be tested or a similar material. This soil model is used by the unit through a proprietary correction algorithm to automatically determine the wet and dry density, gravimetric moisture content and percent compaction values for the material being tested. Soil models can be named using the unified soil classifications listed in the drop-down menu or unique names can be entered using the alpha-numeric keypad. In addi- tion, the temperature probe, which is inserted into the material being tested ensures accurate results by compensating for changes in recorded temperatures. Similar to nuclear gauges, proctor numbers for optimum compaction may be input into the gauge, which would allow for percent compaction to be automatically calculated and displayed at the end of each test. The Proctor numbers would be input into the gauge during the development of the soil model. When determined, this value is entered into the EDG to enable the computation of percent compaction. Touch-Screen/Touch Pad— You have your choice with the Humboldt H-4114SD EDG. The gauge features a 4.3" touch-screen, which provides complete control or you can also use the menu-driven touch pad. Power— The EDG is powered by a rechargeable NiMH bat- tery, which provides up to 60 hrs. of runtime. A car charger is available, order H-4114SD.100 GPS— The EDG is equipped with GPS, which keeps track of the actual location of your measuring device to ensure locations and validity of tests. Short Range Wireless— The EDG gauge can con- nect to your PC for down- loading test results via its wireless technology. No more cables and gauges on your desk. Wireless provides a reliable and secure connection up to 30 feet. USB Port— The EDG also has a USB slot, which provides a con- venient way to capture test data and take it with you, as well as provide an easy way to upgrade the gauge’s firmware. Firm- ware upgrades will be available via the internet from our website.

Plate Bearing Plate Set HD-4605 Ship wt. 65lbs (29.4kg) Static, Plate Load Tester DIN 18 134; BS1377 The Static Plate Load Test can be utilized in earth- works and foundation engineering, as well as road construction in order to determine load set- tlement lines and by this to evaluate the deforma- bility and the load capacity of the soil. When using the static load tester to evaluate a soil layer, the circular load plate is repeatedly loaded and relieved by means of a load device, a hydraulic pump and pneumatic cylinder. This load is applied to the plate in 6 to 8 equal loading steps. Settlement of the plate is measured by the tester consisting of a carrier frame with a sensing arm and dial gauge. As a counterbalance, a heavy- weight vehicle is used. The indentation of the load plate into the soil, gen- erated with every load step, is indicated via the dial gauge. The settlement of every load step and the corresponding mean normal stress below the load plate appear as test values. Subsequent to the last load step the relief and a second loading similar to the first loading takes place. For the test evaluation these values are shown in a corre- sponding diagram as load settlement lines. The modulus of deformation Ev is determined from the load settlement line of the first load (Ev1) and the second load (Ev2). By comparing the ini- tial deformation from Ev1 and the subsequent deformation of Ev2 provides an indication of the compaction attained. The test results and the load settlement lines can be read with the HD-4139.3F Plate Load tester directly on the display and can be printed out immediately at the site via thermal printer or be reviewed later in the office on a PC.
