The dial indicator is an accurate measuring tool, 50mm*0.01mm can be used in a variety of soil testing including: Marshall test, shear test, triaxial test, unconsolidated test and CBR (California Bearing Ratio) test. This is a high quality dial indicator which has been designed with an easy to read scale of 50mm, with a resolution of 0.01mm, which enables the device meet the highest requirements of fulfilling the tasks in the sphere of soil analysis.

It has a well-built construction system which makes it durable enough and can be used even in the most demanding environments. Since the dial indicator is portable, it can conveniently be used in many types of soil testing apparatus such as the calibrated load rings and therefore, this instrument is useful to soil engineers/junior technicians. If compared with such parameters of Dial Indicator as manufacturability or reliability, universality in Marshall testing which is one of the phases of determination of the properties of asphalt mixtures is of great importance.

With this dial indicator obtained information is unambiguous that helps to assess asphalt samples and evaluate stability and flow characteristics that influence construction of roads materials. However, besides Marshall tests, the dial indicator is as useful in Shear, triaxial, unconsolidated and the CBR tests. These tests in form the basic in determining the mechanical properties of soil such as strength, bulk density, compressibility, coefficient of uniform contraction and bearing capacity among others, which are component parts of works like foundations, roads, buildings and other civil engineering structures.

It is accurate, quite robust and versatile and can be used especially in determining the diameter of holes to an accuracy of 50mm*0.01mm. First of all, it is essential for those, who conduct the soil testing, and needs the maximum quality and accuracy of the researches.
