Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes: Soil Classification Tests - Determination of the Particle Size Distribution of a Soil - Standard Method of Fine Analysis Using an Hydrometer
Also Known As:
AS 1289.3.6.3:2020 standard is a method for determining the particle size distribution of a soil, specifically focusing on fine analysis using an hydrometer. The standard applies to soils where more than 10% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve, as measured in AS 1289.3.6.1. It specifies the use of an ASTM 152H hydrometer that conforms to ASTM E100.
The standard outlines the procedure for conducting the particle size distribution analysis. It specifically covers the quantitative determination of particle sizes in a soil ranging from coarse sand size down to finer particles. The analysis is carried out using an hydrometer for particles finer than the 75 µm sieve.
In addition, the standard includes information on the calibration of the hydrometer, providing a method in Appendix B for ensuring accurate measurements.
