The factory calibration provides accurate results for the
majority of materials encountered in construction. If the gauge
is to be used to test materials not covered by the factory
calibration, the readings can be adjusted using an
offset
.
Perform a
density offset
if the test material is outside the density
range for average soil or if the material composition varies from
average soil.
Vertical structures may scatter gamma photons back to the
gauge. This could result in inaccurate density readings. To take
readings in a trench or within 0.6 m (2 ft.) of a large vertical
structure, perform a
trench offset
.
A
moisture offset
is commonly used with the EGauge. When the
provided probe is used for moisture readings due to the fact
that the factory calibration profiled do not provide accurate
results for all soils that are used for fill. This offset should also
be used when the moisture content of a laboratory sample
differs from the reading provided by the Troxler Moisture
Probe Model 6760 (included).
