3/16" x 48" Tubing for Sand Equivalent Set

Replacement 3/16" x 48" tubing for Sand Equivalent Test Sets connects the siphon assembly to the irrigator system, allowing working solution to flow from the solution reservoir to the graduated cylinder during testing. The tubing provides the flexible connection needed to properly position and operate the irrigator tube while washing clay-like fines from the aggregate sample into suspension.

Maintaining flexible, properly fitting tubing is important for establishing consistent solution flow and performing the irrigation portion of the Sand Equivalent procedure correctly.
