MIDTERM Flashcards
Is the process by which fine-grained soils, silts and clays, are graded
Hydrometer Analysis
An equipment used to measures or balance the weight of an object of specimen with a capacity of 6000g
Digital Weighing Device
A container usually made of stainless steel. Used to contain specimen like soil sample
Pans
An instrument for measuring temperature, especially one having a graduated glass tube with a bulb containing a liquid, typically mercury of colored alcohol, that expands and rises in the tube as the temperature increases
Thermometer
A tool use to measure the specific gravity of liquids
Hydrometer
Used for holding liquid while taking specific gravity readings with your hydrometer
Glass Hydrometer Test Jar
Filled with water where the hydrometer was placed after every readings
Graduated Cylinder
A specialized type of clock for measuring time intervals
Timer
A type of container such as a bottle for despensing a fluid, which is powered by squeezing the container by exerting pressure with the user’s hand
Squeeze Bottle
A cimple container for stirring, mixing, and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories
Beakers
A piece of laboratory equipment used to mix chemicals and liquids for laboratory purposes
Stirring Rod
A clay fraction which is generally considered to have particles sizes _______ where hydrometer analysis is needed
less than 0.002mm
What can hydrometer analysis determine
Relative Density
Specific Gravity of Suspension
Enables the percentage of particles of a certain equivalent particles to be calculated
Formula for Length
L = 16.3- 0.163R
Formula for Diameter
D = K √ L / T
