The New Proctor Test in BreakTest

The proctor method Moisture-Density Relationship test is now available in BreakTest.

It features a worksheet for the lab measurements, a proctor curve fit tool, and the PDF report which is delivered to the customer.
This proctor test module is based on ASTM698 and ASTM D1557 specification.


Key Features of the Proctor Test Module

Form Auto-Fill & Calculations:

As with all e-forms in BreakTest, the proctor test form is auto-filled with its project info as predefined.
Also, repeating test data (e.g. Volume and Weight of Mold) is auto-filled, and derived data (e.g. Wet and Dry Densities) are auto-calculated on the form.

Easy-Handling of Corrections:

Using a set of easy-to-use controls, you can fine-tuned the curve interpolation of the test data for accuracy and elegance.
Also, parameters to apply rock correction is also provided via the e-form.

Lab Proctor –– Field Density Linkage:

Proctor tests results are added to a reference list, and can be linked to any project-specific reference list. These proctor ‘look-up tables’ are applied to relevant field density tests so that proctor specifications of a soil type can be automatically referenced for compaction percent pass/fail calculations.

The proctor test module completes an A-to-Z automation for field density test results processing. Another win towards BreakTest’s aim to ensure test data integrity for our customers, while enabling them to work quicker and also avoid the frustrations related to managing and reporting test data.
