Latex Membranes are made from pure latex rubber and are the standard material in soil testing labs around the country. They are made under tightly controlled, proprietary manufacturing processes to maintain the highest quality membranes, free from defects. Membranes are in stock in the standard sizes shown here. They are packaged in amber colored bags to inhibit ultraviolet light damage during storage. Supplied in packages of 12. Our complete selection of Latex and Neoflex Membranes in a variety of sizes is listed separately.

Membrane Testers check Latex Membranes for leaks. The Membrane Tester consists of an aluminum tube with a hose and hose clamp for connection to user's vacuum supply.

Membrane Stretchers consist of an aluminum tube with a port, tubing, and pinch valve for easy installation of the Latex Membrane over the soil specimen. For use with user's vacuum supply.

Sealing O-Rings seal the ends of the Latex Membrane to the cap and pedestal. Supplied 10 per pack.

O-Ring Placing Tool makes it an easy job to mount O-Rings around the Cap and Latex Membrane, minimizing disturbance to the drain lines and soil sample.

Anodized Aluminum Specimen Cap has two drain ports and includes two finger tight 1/8" tube fittings. Caps are grooved for secure fit of O-Rings. All Stainless Steel Caps are available by adding SS suffix. Acrylic Specimen Caps are available by adding "AC" suffix.

Two-Part Vacuum Split Molds are used to prepare compacted specimens of non-cohesive soil. Vacuum is applied to the mold with Latex Membrane inside and soil is compacted inside of the membrane.

Two-Part Compaction Molds are used to prepare cohesive soil specimens. Material is compacted in mold and on top of steel pedestal.

Two-Part Compaction Mold Assemblies include the Two-Part Compaction Mold, collar, and base.

Two-Part Miter Boxes are used for precise trimming to length of soil specimens and squaring the ends with a Wire Saw.
