Grain Size Analysis (Pipette Method)

As Per IS 2720 (PART IV) AND BS 1377:2.

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. ACCESSORIES & SPARES : i) Sedimentation Pipette (Anderson pipette) 25ml, ii) Sedimentation tube 100ml, iii) Sedimentation pipette 10ml, iv)
