About This Product
The shrinkage limit is the maximum water content at which a reduction in water content does not cause an appreciable reduction in the volume of the soil mass. If the soil loses more water, air enters the voids and the volume stays constant. In the usual method a wet soil pat is dried in the shrinkage dish and its volume is measured by displacement. From the readings, students calculate the shrinkage limit, shrinkage ratio, volumetric shrinkage and shrinkage index in soil mechanics classes. The Plastic and Shrinkage limit Set can be supplied and exported to buyers in Rwanda, Qatar, Iceland, Luxembourg, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Croatia.
