Description:
This kit is designed for use with the new Miller 400A and Miller 400D Resistance Meters, however it
ships with a foam insert that allows it to store the Nilsson 400 meter, if desired.
The Soil Resistivity Test Kit is designed to conveniently store and
carry all of the equipment required to calculate the resistivity of
soil. The equipment provided, when combined with a resistance meter
(such as the Miller 400A (Cat. #44500) or Miller 400D (Cat. #44550)
- each sold separately
), is all that is necessary to perform the Wenner
Four-Pin Method, as outlined by the ASTM G 57-06 Standard, as well
as the Soil-Box Method.
The M. C. Miller 4-Pin Test Reel (Cat. #44700),
shown below, has been designed and engineered to be used in
conjunction with any one of MCM's multi-meters, the Miller 400A or Miller 400D
Resistance Meters, or similar four-terminal soil test
instrument.
The test setup utilizes the mechanics of the "Four Electrode Method,"
which was developed by the National Bureau of Standards and is
commonly known as the Wenner 4-pin Method. The resultant resistivity
is the average resistivity of the soil (electrolyte) to a depth
equal to the spacing between adjacent electrodes (soil pins). The
maximum depth (pin spacing) of this standard test set has been
designed for 20 feet, which is recommended for standard survey.
The Soil Resistivity Reel is made up of four (4) separate, color-coded
lead wires of: 5-foot (yellow), 25-foot (orange), 45-foot (red) and
65-foot (black) lengths. Lead wires are harnessed together and
mounted on a lightweight handheld reel. Wire ends at the reel are
affixed to female banana plug jacks (mounted in the center hub area)
while the opposite ends are terminated with Mueller 27-C clips.
Two-foot, color-coded, jumper leads with banana plug ends are
supplied with soil resistivity reel to facilitate connection between
the REEL and your test meter.
All lead wires and jumpers are made of our own No. 16 AWG, 105 strand
copper wire with PVC insulation. In addition to our color coding of
the wires, all ends are clearly labeled as to their connection
point.
Soil Box inside
area dimensions are approximately 1.5" wide x 8.75" long x 1.5"
deep (3.937cm wide x 22.23cm long x 3.190cm deep). The Soil Box
corners are rounded for easy cleaning, current plates are made of
stainless steel, potential pins are made of brass and are easily
removed.
