Core Cutter of known volume is driven into the soil by a rammer. The core cutter is dug out, trimmed and the soil inside weighed and dried for moisture and density check. This is used for the determination of in situ dry density of natural or compacted fine-grained soil, free from aggregates. A cylindrical cutter is used to extract a sample of the soil with the help of a dolly and rammer. From the weight, density and the moisture, and dry density of the soil is readily calculated.
