Hydrometer lab manual

hydrometer reading should have a correction due to temperature applied. Handling the Hydrometer The hydrometer should never be held by the stem, except when it is being held www.doorway.ru Size: KB. Calculation 1. Calculate the specific gravity G = mass of soil, W, S mass of equal volume of soil f - 12 Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual where mass of soil = Ws mass of equal volume of water, Ww = (WI + Ws) - W2 So () Specific gravity is generally reported on the value of the density of water at 20°www.doorway.ruted Reading Time: 10 mins. Geotechnical Engineering Lab Instruction Manual 7 3. HYDROMETER ANALYSIS Aim: To determine percentage silt size and clay size fractions of the given soil by hydrometer analysis.

Soil Survey Office Laboratory References Soil Survey Field and Laboratory Methods Manual (SSIR 51), version (; PDF; MB) Particle-size analysis by hydrometer data entry forms (; XLS; KB). Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual 25 where LI = distance between the top of hydrometer bulb to the mark for a hydrometer reading. For a hydrometer reading of zero, LI = cm. Also, for a Hydro­ meter reading of 50 glliter, LI = cm. Thus, in general, for a given hydro­ meter reading LI (cm) = - (1 ~ ) x (hydrometer reading).
