GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS (PIPETTE METHOD)

Grain Size Analysis Apparatus (Pipette Method)

Product Code : MSI 3009

Standard Used : IS 2720 (Part 4) | BS 1377-2 

Fully compliant with standard methods for sub-sieve particle size distribution analysis in geotechnical and soil mechanics laboratories.

Product Description
The Multitech Scientific Instruments MSI 3009 Grain Size Analysis Pipette Method Apparatus is a high-precision laboratory instrument engineered for the quantitative determination of sub-sieve particle size distribution in fine-grained soil samples. This mechanical analysis setup accurately evaluates the proportions by weight of various particle sizes present in clay and silt matrices. To guarantee absolute testing precision and prevent particle grouping during sedimentation, the procedure utilizes a specialized soil dispersing agent to eliminate flocculation, making this complete system an essential asset for advanced soil mechanics laboratories and civil engineering testing centers.

Features & Design Elements

• • Precision Screw-Driven Sliding Panel: Features an ultra-smooth vertical sliding panel mechanism controlled by a lead screw, allowing the user to raise or lower the attached pipette assembly without disturbing the fluid suspension.

  • Integrated Metric Depth Scale: Equipped with a side-mounted scale graduated clearly in millimeters to track the exact depth of pipette immersion during timed sampling sequences.

  • Rigid Clamp Stabilization Frame: Designed with a heavy-duty vertical support stand and a robust laboratory clamp that locks the glass sedimentation tube perfectly upright to avoid uncalibrated settling patterns.

  • Complete Out-of-the-Box Kit: Ships fully equipped with a calibrated glass pipette, high-capacity sedimentation tubes, and specialized documentation logs to ensure immediate implementation for lab audits.

Application

• • Used for standard mechanical soil analysis to determine the precise fractions of fine silt and clay particles in agricultural, structural, or highway subgrades.

  • Critical for soil classification profiles where sieve analysis is insufficient for sub-sieve micro-particles.

  • Deployed across government testing institutions, private geotechnical engineering firms, and university civil engineering labs.
