Particle Size Sedimentation (Hydrometer Method)
Product Code : MSI 3010
Standard Used : ASTM D422 | AASHTO T88 | BS 1377-2
Engineered in strict accordance with international testing protocols for the quantitative assessment of particle size distributions in cohesive and fine-grained soil types.
Product Description
The Multitech Scientific Instruments MSI 3010 Particle Size Sedimentation Hydrometer Method Apparatus is a comprehensive laboratory suite engineered to determine the quantitative size distribution of very fine particles in soils, such as clays and silts. Operating on the principles of settling velocity and Stokes' Law, this hydrometer sedimentation test method tracks changes in density during the suspension settling phase. This complete configuration provides civil engineering and geotechnical testing facilities with all the critical apparatus components—ranging from chemical dispersing agents to thermodynamic control systems—necessary for reliable soil classification profiling.
Features & Design Elements
Thermostatic Glass Water Tank: Constructed from heavy-walled glass to permit unhindered visual monitoring of the sedimentation cylinders during test intervals.
Automated Temperature Control: Equipped with a submersible heating elements assembly and an electronic thermostat circuit to sustain fluid temperatures without creating localized hot spots.
Precision Calibrated Soil Hydrometer: Formed from high-grade structural glass featuring a clearly marked interior scale with micro-divisions for reliable, repeatable specific gravity checks.
Integrated Laboratory Circulation System: Outfitted with an active fluid circulation motor unit to maintain uniform temperature profiles across the entire water bath volume.
Application
Used for standard particle size analysis of soils to accurately separate fine silt boundaries from clay fractions.
Essential for determining the specific gravity changes of a soil-water suspension over long settling durations.
Deployed across government quality control boards, private soil mechanics laboratories, highway materials research centers, and civil engineering universities.
