SDG 200 Non-Nuclear Soil Density Gauge

The SDG 200 Non-Nuclear Soil Density Gauge is a next generation soil density measurement instrument by TransTech Systems, available across UAE and GCC through Burgan Equipment Co. The SDG 200 delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable soil density readings without the need for nuclear materials, licenses, or radiation safety procedures.

Overview

The SDG 200 Non-Nuclear Soil Density Gauge is fully equipped with a touchscreen and a user-friendly graphical interface running on Microsoft Windows CE for smooth operation, easy software upgrades, and enhanced user support. This non-nuclear technology eliminates the regulatory burden associated with traditional nuclear density gauges, removing concerns about badges, licenses, storage, and transport restrictions while delivering fast, real-time readings.

The SDG 200 is a reliable solution trusted by geotechnical engineers, contractors, and government agencies for in-place soil density verification during earthwork and compaction operations.

SDG 200 Non-Nuclear Soil Density Gauge — Key Highlights

  • Non-Nuclear Technology: The SDG 200 Non-Nuclear Soil Density Gauge uses electromagnetic sensing technology to measure soil density, completely eliminating the need for radioactive materials, special licenses, or transport documentation.

  • Full Color VGA Display: A bright full color VGA display with LED backlight ensures easy visibility in both light and dark field conditions, allowing operators to read measurements clearly at any time of day.

  • Customizable Entries: The SDG 200 allows customizable project entries and material entries, helping operators organize data by project and soil type for accurate record keeping.

  • Diagnostics Mode: A built-in diagnostics mode helps operators verify gauge performance and troubleshoot issues quickly in the field.

  • Data Management: A dedicated data management screen allows operators to organize, review, and disable data logging as needed, with the ability to download data files via USB drive.

  • Rugged and Lightweight Design: Built with an aluminum shell for durability in field environments, the gauge includes reflective vinyl graphics for higher visibility during nighttime operations and a handle extension attachment for operator comfort.

  • Fast and Repeatable Readings: The SDG 200 delivers fast, reliable, accurate, and repeatable soil density readings in real time, supporting efficient quality control on active construction sites.
