About This Product
In the pipette method of particle size analysis, a soil suspension is left to settle in a sedimentation tube. A pipette is lowered to a known depth and a small sample is drawn off at set times, and the weight of soil in each sample shows the proportion of particles finer than a given size. A dispersion agent is used to avoid flocculation, which would make particles settle together. The result gives the grain size distribution below the sieve range and complements sieve analysis in soil mechanics classes. School Lab Equipment India can export the Grain Size Analysis (Pipette Method) to education buyers in Laos, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lesotho and Burundi.
