HYDROMETER TEST SET (T251)

Category: General,Soil

Product Code: T251

Category: GENERAL,SOIL

Sub-Category: PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS

 

  • ​The ALFA Hydrometer Test Set is designed for the precise determination of particle size distribution in fine-grained soils, particularly those passing the 75 µm sieve. This comprehensive set enables sedimentation analysis to assess soil texture and classify soil types in accordance with established standards.​
  • This test set facilitates the hydrometer method, which is essential for analyzing the distribution of fine soil particles. By measuring the relative density of soil suspensions over time, it allows for accurate assessment of particle size distribution.​
  • The set includes all necessary components to perform sedimentation analysis, ensuring compliance with ASTM D422 standards. This method is widely recognized for soil classification and geotechnical analysis.​
  • Constructed with high-quality materials, the components are designed for durability and precision, providing reliable results in laboratory settings.
