Sand Gauge Chart
Product Code : LSK-SM-10669
Sand Gauge Chart (SKU LSK-SM-10669) is a small water-resistant card carrying real granule patches for judging the size and roundness of sand grains in the field, from 2 mm very coarse sand down to 1/16 mm silt. Geology students, civil engineers and site technicians use it when logging sediments. Universities, colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors can have the chart sent to them by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Single rows below record each feature of the 89 x 64 mm sand gauge. In short, nine granule patches firmly attached to a water-resistant plastic card show size classes from very coarse sand to silt and shapes from angular to rounded, while the reverse carries geologic age and carbonate tables and a checklist aids field notes.

Applications and Experiments for the Sand Gauge Chart
The chart lets a user compare grains against fixed references to record both size class and roundness, two properties that show how far sediment has travelled and how a sand may behave in construction. Its checklist prompts consistent notes, including bed thickness.
- B.Sc. / M.Sc. geology: sedimentology field work on sand size, sorting and roundness, with grains examined through a Double Lens Folding Pocket Magnifier.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: describing sands during site investigation and measuring their in-place density with the Sand Replacement Equipment.
- TVET survey and construction materials modules: logging sand deposits and borrow pits.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Sand Gauge Chart is supplied as one card with its nine granule patches, the size and shape panels, the reverse-side tables and the field checklist, as described above. Any optional accessories offered are listed separately on the quotation for your order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Charts for a whole field class or a single replacement can be quoted, and the quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for that number. Grain size charts and geotechnical gauges can join the order, so a department can source its field kit from one laboratory equipment supplier in India.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter able to ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Field-course quantities go through the contact page, charts can be bundled in the enquiry cart with other site tools, and tendered supplies are covered by the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size range does the Sand Gauge Chart cover?
It covers 2 mm very coarse sand down to 1/16 mm silt, through very coarse, coarse, medium, fine, very fine and silt panels, all on one 89 x 64 mm card.
How does it help judge grain shape?
Shape panels show angular, sub-angular, sub-rounded and rounded grains, so users match their sample's roundness by direct comparison rather than from memory, while standing at the outcrop or trial pit.
What is on the back of the card?
The reverse carries tables of geologic age and carbonate classification information, giving handy references when describing sedimentary beds in the field, alongside the checklist for notes and bed thickness.
Who supplies the Sand Gauge Chart?
The water-resistant sand gauge card is supplied, not made, by Science Lab Supplies, which quotes it from Ambala, India. Universities, colleges, training centres, contractors and distributors can request single cards or class quantities, with the quotation confirming packing and delivery time.
