Minimum and Maximum Density - Vibratory Table
Minimum and Maximum Density Calibration
Lab-Comp Rel | Min Max Density Calibration
Complete the data entry fields and enter any other associated metadata as required. The value entered in the Mould_ID field will then be used in the lookup list in the Mould_ID field on the Minimum_Maximum_Density_Readings table.
The calculations use Volume_Water_Filling in precedence over Volume_Direct_Measurement. If Temperature_Water is provided, then the correction factors in ASTM 4254-00 Table 2 is applied.

Input
Lab-Comp Rel | Minimum Maximum Density
To calculate the Minimum and Maximum Density Values of a specimen, you must first select the standard from the Minimum_Density_Test_Method and Maximum_Density_Test_Method fields on the Minimum_Maximum_Density (upper) table that the specimen is being tested against. Fields are highlighted to assist you in entering the relevant data in the Minimum_Maximum_Density (upper) table for the selected test method.
Enter the test data in the data entry fields on the Minimum_Maximum_Density (lower) table for each test and when you change table or select save, the values will be calculated automatically and the result will be displayed in the calculated fields.
To calculate the minimum particle density, only enter the value in the Dry_Mass_Mould_Specimen field and the Mould_ID. If you enter data into the other data entry fields then the Maximum Dry Density field will be calculated.
It is not necessary to enter a value in all 6 Gauge_Top_Mould and Gauge_Top_Base_Plate fields. These fields require data in mm.
You may record multiple Minimum and Maximum test for the one specimen, and the Mean of each is recorded on the Minimum_Maximum_Density (upper) table. You may exclude a particular test from the mean by checking the Exclude_From_Mean check box.
