Modified Soil Compaction Mold, 6 Inch, Drilled for Ploog Base

6in Soil Density Mold Set for Proctor Compaction Testing

The 6in Soil Density Mold Set is designed for accurate soil compaction and moisture-density testing in laboratory and field applications. Ideal for Proctor Compaction tests, this durable mold set helps determine the relationship between soil moisture content and density while ensuring consistent, repeatable test results.

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel and finished with a clear zinc coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, the mold set is built to withstand demanding testing environments. The complete set includes a mold body, detachable extension collar, and base plate, providing everything needed for standard compaction procedures. With a nominal diameter of 6in (152mm), a height of 4.584in (116.4mm), and a volume of 0.075ft³ (2,124cm³), the mold meets common testing requirements and is compatible with soil compaction hammers and mechanical soil compactors.

Available with either a split or solid mold body, users can select the configuration that best suits their testing process. Split molds allow for easy specimen removal by opening slightly when clamps are released, while solid molds are designed for use with sample ejectors. The detachable collar is interchangeable across all compatible 6in soil compaction molds, offering added flexibility and convenience.
