The EDG measures the dielectric properties and density of compacted soil material by the radio high frequency between the electrodes and compares the measured dielectric properties with the "soil module". The “soil module” is a specific type of soil type. It has a set of pre-measured specific dielectrics. This set of dielectrics represents a series of density values and humidity values. After field measurements are completed, the dry/wet density, water content, and percent compaction are calculated using mathematical algorithms. The attached temperature sensor can also increase the accuracy of the measurement.
Physical properties measurements for compacted materials, including density, moisture content, and percent compaction. Applications include roadbeds and foundations, embankments and fillings, underpasses and basements, backfills and ditches, garbage, etc.
