Soil Hydrometer for Particle Size ‍and Sedimentation Analysis

The Soil Hydrometer ASTM 152H is a precision glass instrument designed to measure the particle size distribution of soil suspensions during sedimentation analysis. It is based on the Bouyoucos scale and widely used in laboratories, universities, and soil research centers. Supplied exclusively by Labtex Bangladesh, this hydrometer ensures accurate and consistent results for professional soil testing.

Key Features of the Soil Hydrometer

• Made from high-quality borosilicate glass
• ASTM 152H compliant (Bouyoucos Scale)
• Graduated in grams per liter (g/L)
• Calibrated at 68°F (20°C) for standard accuracy
• Clear, easy-to-read graduation markings
• Weighted bulb for stable floating during testing
• Ideal for soil mechanics, agronomy, and geotechnical applications
• Precision-manufactured for long-term laboratory use

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Determining soil texture and sedimentation rate
• Research in soil and agricultural laboratories
• Quality control in construction and civil engineering
• Educational demonstrations in geology and soil science
• Environmental and hydrological field testing

How to Use

1. Prepare a soil suspension by mixing soil with a dispersing agent and distilled water.
2. Pour the mixture into a sedimentation cylinder.
3. Gently insert the hydrometer into the suspension.
4. Record the hydrometer reading at specific time intervals.
5. Use temperature correction if required.
6. Expert Tip: Ensure no air bubbles stick to the hydrometer before taking readings for maximum accuracy.

Maintenance & Safety

• Clean thoroughly after each use with distilled water.
• Store in a padded or upright holder to avoid breakage.
• Avoid direct sunlight or high heat.
• Do not use with corrosive or acidic solutions.
• Handle gently to maintain calibration integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the Bouyoucos scale used for?
A: It measures the concentration of soil particles (in grams per liter) suspended in a liquid to determine soil texture.

Q2: Is this hydrometer calibrated?
A: Yes, it’s calibrated at 68°F (20°C) according to ASTM standards.

Q3: Can it be used for other liquids besides soil suspension?
A: It’s primarily designed for soil analysis, but can be used for similar sedimentation studies under expert supervision.
