==Test Description==
The test method AS1289.5.3.1 Field Density Sand Replacement is an alternative method to the nuclear field density test. It dertermines the field density of soils by sand replacement method using sand-cone apparatus

==Interaction with other screens==


===Interdependencies===
1st) The “Field Density Sand Replacement test” imports the moisture content from any “Moisture Content test”
<br>2nd) “Compaction test” imports the maximum dry density from either an “Maximum Dry Density test – MDD” or an “Hilf Test”
<br>3rd) “Compaction test” imports the field density from the “Field Density Sand Replacement test”
<br>4th) The connections between those tests are limited to the ones aforementioned. Thus, there is no direct interaction between the “MDD test” and the “Field Density Sand Replacement test” neither between the “Hilf Test” and the “Field Density Sand Replacement test”
<br>5th) Finally note that the “Field Density Sand Replacement test” can be replaced by a “Nuclear Field Density test” or the “Nuclear Gauge test” as they all determine the field density.
