The Electrical Density Gauge (EDG) is a nuclear-free alternative for determining the moisture and density of compacted soils used in road beds and foundations. The EDG is a portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear safety. STANDARD
ASTM D7830
· 5.0 in full color graphics driven user interface, touch screen operation, easy to use. · New status bar, displays GPS status, data save status, available battery voltage, low battery status and date and time · New data management, quickly access, download or delete your project data · Ability to download files from the EDG-S200 via USB drive · Fast, reliable, accurate material density and compaction test, and repeatable readings in real time, user friendly, cost effective · No additional calibration is required and field testing can be performed directly. The data can be read accurately in 3 seconds, with higher precision and better stability. · Non-Nuclear means no badges, licenses or storage and transport concerns
