Clegg impact soil tester - Model CIST/884
Datalogging, wireless data transfer & global positioning (GPS)
The Clegg Impact Soil Tester model CIST/884
for measuring and controlling soil strength and consolidation levels.
A known mass, the Clegg Hammer, is dropped from a fixed distance and deceleration is measured as the hammer hits the ground. Four successive trials determine the Clegg Impact Value.
Constructed with a hardened steel hammer inside a durable tube, the Clegg hammer will give you years of reliable, accurate service.
The model CIST/884 features on board data logging and data storage with wireless data transfer. Latitude & Longitude coordinates of the test location are received by the in-built GPS then stored providing users with an accurate location reference for later viewing in eg Google earth™. Users can download their site test results to a PC wirelessly by Bluetooth™, using the PC software supplied with the instrument. This cable-free operation greatly enhances system reliability.
CIST/884/4.5kg/Stor/Blu GPS 'Standard' hammer
Civil engineering & construction industry standard Clegg hammer for monitoring and measuring surface compaction, re-instatement, etc. The 4.5kg standard hammer Clegg provides a compact and reliable instrument for monitoring and controlling the quality of reinstatements while the work is in progress, avoiding the need for re-excavation.
The CIST/884/2.25kg 'medium' hammer was developed for measuring shock attenuation characteristics of the softer, natural and artificial sports surfaces such as horse and dog tracks, equestrian arenas etc.

- Software selectable 'Readout':
- 'Standard' - Readout Unit displays readings of Impact Value (IV) and also shows the number of times that the hammer has been dropped during each test operation
- 'TREND' - Readout Unit displays readings of Impact Value (IV) and also allows the readout to automatically detect the difference in readings during 5 drops and to warn the operator of a failed re-instatement by displaying ABORT!
- '% CBR' - Readout Unit displays direct readings in % CBR (california bearing ratio) and also shows the number of times that the hammer has been dropped during each test operation

- The CIST/884/2.25kg Readout Unit displays readings of 'Gravities' and also shows the number of times that the hammer has been dropped during each test operation
- Supplied complete with:
- Test ring (NOT 0.5kg hammer)
- Certificate of calibration
- Wooden transit case
- PC Software to facilitate data transfer, real time test view, time/date setting and configuration set-up.
