NON-NUCLEAR SOIL ELECTRICAL

DENSITY GAUGE EDG-1S

STANDARD: ASTM D7830

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.
Easy-to-use, the EDG can be used as a construction aid to monitor day-to-day compaction operations by providing
performance and measurement results highly comparable to those achieved with traditional methods, including
the nuclear gauge and/or a sand-cone and oven moisture test combination.
Its user-friendly, step-by-step menu guides the user through each step of the testing procedure and cautions the
user when values do not correspond to established curves for the material being tested.

WORKING INTERFACE

SOFTWARE
The software will allow you to communicate effortlessly with your EDG gauges and only requires minimal setup by the user.
EDG Software provides a complete solution for the acquisition, storing, and presentation of Job and Soil Model data. EDG
Software works in conjunction with Microsoft Excel to present test data in easy-to-read Excel workbook format files, which
can be evaluated directly or sent to any computer using Microsoft Excel. Jobs can be grouped together within projects for
organization and reporting.

SOFTWARE FEATURES
• Communicate with all your EDG gauges. • Create reports from downloaded soil model data.
• Download Job Data. • Upload soil models to any EDG.
• Create customized reports from downloaded job data. • Input proctor data for use in job data or soil model data.
• Download Soil Model Data. • Time/Date, GPS stamps for each test
