Product Description

The grain size distribution of soil fraction passing through 75 micron IS sieve can be carried out as per IS:2720 (Part-IV) by pipette method or by hydrometer method.

Grain Size Distribution Apparatus (Pipette Method)

Test is performed as per IS:2720 (Part-IV) The apparatus comprises of:-

• Pipette stand with moving carriage assembly fitted with a scale and holder for holding the pipette in position.
• Sampling pipette 10 ml capacity fitted with a three way stop cock.
• Sedimentation tube, 50 mm dia and approximately 350 mm long with mark at 500 ml volume.

Hydrometer

Test is performed as per IS:2720 (Part- IV). Used for particle size analysis of soil in suspension when it has more than 10% of 75 micron IS sieve passing material.The scale on the hydrometer is marked from 0.995 to 1.030 in terms of density (g/ml) of suspension at 27o C.

Hydrometer Glass Jar

Test is performed as per IS:2720 (Part- IV). It is single marked 1000 ml glass cylinder without pour out, used to prepare the soil suspension for the determination of density by using HS10.37 Hydrometer. Supplied complete with the rubber bung.
