Description:
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.
Pipette stand with moving carriage assembly fitted with a scale and holder for holding the pipette in position.
Sampling pipette 10 ml capacity fitted with a three way stop cock.
Sedimentation tube, 50mm dia and approximately 350 mm long with mark at 500 ml volume.
