Electrical Density Gauge (EDG)

Standard: ASTM D7698

Soil Moisture & Density

The Electrical Density Gauge (EDG) is a nuclear-free alternative for determining the moisture and density of compacted soils used in road beds and foundations. The EDG is a portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear safety. Its user-friendly, step by step menu guides the user through each step of the testing procedure and cautions the user when values do not correspond to established curves for the material being tested.
