About This Product
The hydrometer method finds the grain size distribution of the fine part of a soil. A soil sample is mixed with water in a measuring jar, and the hydrometer is floated in the suspension to read its density as the particles settle. Larger particles settle first, so readings taken over time show how much clay and silt the soil contains. The method is used when more than 11% of the material passes through a 75 micron sieve. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Soil Hydrometer across India and can export it to Egypt, Rwanda, Eritrea, Tunisia and Comoros.
