Hydrometer Analysis Set for Particle Size
Sedimentation cylinders, hydrometer and accessories for determining the grain size distribution of the fine fraction.
Typical applications
- Silt and clay fraction determination in soil classification
Conforms to
- IS 2720 (Part 4)—Grain size analysis
- ASTM D7928—Particle-Size Distribution of Fine-Grained Soils Using the Sedimentation (Hydrometer) Analysis
- ASTM D422—Particle-Size Analysis of Soils(withdrawn; use ASTM D6913 (sieve) and ASTM D7928 (hydrometer))

Worth knowing before you order
ASTM withdrew D422 in 2016. Catalogues across this industry still cite it. If your quality manual references D422, it needs updating to D6913 and D7928 — or to IS 2720 Part 4 for Indian work.Specification
