N E T T & C P: Orth Ast Ransportation Raining Ertification Rogram

This document reports the results of a density test using the sand-cone method according to test standard T 191. It provides calibration information for the sand used and details the process and calculations for determining the density of a soil sample taken from a test hole. Key measurements taken include the mass and volume of the sand, moisture content of the soil sample, and the dry density of the material calculated from these values. The % compaction is also reported relative to a lab-determined dry compacted density.
