Hydrometer Test

Observations and Tabulation :-

1. Soil:

2. Mass of total dry soil taken for the analysis (M) = --------------------------- g

3. Mass of the dry soil fraction passing 75 µ sieve (M') = --------------------------- g

4. Mass of the dry soil sample taken for the test (Md) = --------------------------- g

5. Specific gravity of soil solids passing 75 µ sieve (G) = ---------------------------

6. Hydrometer No.:

7. Meniscus correction (Cm) = ---------------------------

8.

Date Time Elapsed time (t) (minutes Hydrometer reading (Rh') Temperature ('c) Composite correction (C) Rh = Rh' + Cm Effective depth (HR) (cm) D (mm) R = Rh'+C % finer based on M' % finer based on M
