Grain Size Analysis (Pipette Method) .
This is for the determination of the sub sieve particle distribution in a
soil sample by mechanical analysis. An analysis of this kind expresses
quantity the proportions by weight of the various sizes of particles
present in the soil. It is recommended as a standard procedure to use
dispersion agent to avoid flocculation. The apparatus consists of a
sliding panel which moves up and down by means of a screw
allowing Anderson pipette fixed to it to be raised or lowered
vertically. A sedimentation tube is held by a laboratory clamp
provided on the stand below the pipette. The depth of immersion is
measured by a scale graduated in mm at the side of the sliding panel.
Supplied complete with Anderson pipette 10ml. At the side capacity
made from glass, and a sedimentation tube also of glass of 500ml
capacity and 50nos. Test form pads.
