Sequence of Works 1.1 Determination of Unit Weight by Sand Specification

This document provides instructions for determining the unit weight of sand using a calibration mold, sand cone device, and hopper. It involves weighing sand samples before and after filling the calibration mold and cone to calculate the weight of sand used and ultimately determine the unit weight of the sand.

Sequence of Works
1.1 Determination of Unit Weight by Sand Specification
a. Place the calibration mold in a pan.
b. Set the sand cone device in place on the flange of the calibration mold and close
the valve.
c. Place the preweighed 5000 g sample of density sand in the hopper.
d. Open the valve and keep it open until the sand has stopped flowing and then
close.
e. Reweigh the sand remaining in the hopper.
f. The difference between the original (5000 g) and final weight will be the "weight
of sand to fill calibration mold and cone."
g. The weight of sand to fill the lower cone will be determined in a similar manner.
Place the sand cone device on a flat surface and allow the sand (5000 g) to run
into the cone. The difference between the original and final weight of sand in the
hopper shall be recorded as the "weight of sand to fill cone."
h. Calculate the unit weight of sand from the above determinations.
i. If a base plate is to be used in the taking of density tests, the plate shall be placed
between the flat surface and the cone. Test as above to determine the weight of
sand to fill the cone and base plate.
