Grain Size Analysis Apparatus

Grain Size Analysis App., Pipette method:

This is for the determination of their sub sieve particle distribution in a soil sample by mechanical analysis. An analysis of this kind expresses quantitively 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 floculation.

Specifications:

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 graduate in mm at the side of the sliding panel.
Supplied complete with Anderson pipette 10 ml. at the side capacity made from glass, and a sedimentation tube also of glass of 500 ml capacity and 50 Nos Test forms.

Accessories and Spares:
1) Sedimentation pipette (Anderson pipette) 25 ml.
2) Sedimentation tube 1000 ml.
3) Sedimentation pipette 10 ml.
4) Sedimentation tube 500 ml.
5) Test forms pad of 50.
