Troxler Electronic Laboratories Nuclear Density Gauge Use explains how to use the Nuclear Density Gauge in Backscatter and Direct Transmission modes on the job site.
If the source rod will not go smoothly to the depth of the needed measurement it is best to move a few inches or so and prepare another hole for the measurement.
Thanks for this video! Question; do the tools e.g. drill rod, hammer, scraper plate etc. affect the readings of the gauge if left in proximity of the device while testing is performed? Got it. Another youtube video states to remove tools at least three feet away from the test site. Copy that.
No, these items won't affect the test results if they are near the gauge. The standard block could because it contains hydrogen, so put it away (also for safe-keeping) once the standard count is finished.
The drill rod is slightly larger than the source rod. You do not want to leave a gap between the source and the soil that is to be measured. Pushing the gauge to the right closes the small gap.
Thanks, I have watched a lot of similar videos, some people don't know what they are doing....But it is great to see perfect example from Troxler!
Thanks a lot ,anyway I don't use this machine upto now,how is it work if the pluncher touch in a rock piece can we get the proper reading

@@troxlerelectroniclaborator8186 Thank you very much for your reply!
What is the purpose of pushing/tapping the gauge to the side? Nobody seems to know the answer.
