ESE-067- Proctor Compaction Apparatus

The Proctor Compaction Apparatus is a vital tool in soil testing, designed to determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of soil. Widely used in geotechnical engineering and construction, this apparatus helps ensure that soil achieves the desired compaction levels for stability and strength, making it essential for projects like road construction, embankments, and foundations.

This apparatus works by compacting soil in a mold using a standard rammer and measuring the resulting density. The compaction test evaluates how the soil responds to different moisture levels, helping engineers establish the conditions for achieving maximum compaction and strength.
