NT-S2020 – Manual Liquid Limit Device

Manual mechanical model equipped with a counter for registering the number of cup blows.

NT-S2120 – Motorized Liquid Limit Device

Motorized model designed to provide a uniform operating speed and improved test repeatability.

NT-S2125 – ASTM Metal Grooving Tool

Metal grooving tool designed for soil sample preparation for liquid limit testing in accordance with the applicable ASTM requirements.




The Liquid Limit Device is used to determine the moisture content at which a clay soil changes from a plastic state to a liquid state. The liquid limit is defined as the moisture content at which the two parts of a soil sample, separated by a standardized groove, come together over a specified distance after 25 blows of the cup, following a standardized testing procedure.

The NT-S2000 Series includes manual and motorized liquid limit devices designed for soil characterization testing in laboratories. The equipment is engineered to provide reliable and repeatable test results while complying with the requirements of major international standards.



Main Features

  • Removable brass cup.
  • Cup height adjustment system.
  • Mechanical blow counter.
  • Metal grooving tool.
  • Hard plastic base compliant with applicable standards.
  • Designed for liquid limit determination testing of soils.



Manual Model

The manual liquid limit machine is hand-operated and features a mechanical revolution counter mounted on the drive shaft. The counter allows the operator to accurately register the number of blows applied to the liquid limit cup during the test.



Motorized Model

The motorized liquid limit device provides a uniform operating speed and improved test repeatability. It consists of a liquid limit machine equipped with a geared motor that provides a consistent operating speed, together with a blow counter.

The complete unit is mounted on a metal plate fitted with rubber feet for improved stability during operation. The motorized model is supplied with a grooving tool and a gauge block.



Applications

The NT-S2000 Series is particularly suitable for geotechnical, soil mechanics and materials testing laboratories, as well as educational and technical training institutions. The equipment is used for soil consistency characterization and for evaluating the behavior of fine-grained soils.



Standards

  • ASTM D4318 – Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils.
  • BS 1377: Part 2 – Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes.
  • AASHTO T 89 – Determining the Liquid Limit of Soils.
