Used to shake gas jars filled with fine soil specimen and water
It provides homogenous shaking and mixing of the specimen conforming to
BS 1377-2 requirements
Can be used in combination with Hydrometer Test Set (T-251) to determine
the distribution of particle sizes of the fine-grained portion of soils. The
sedimentation or hydrometer method is used to determine the particle-size
distribution (gradation) of the material that is finer than the No. 200
(75-µm) sieve and larger than about 0.2-µm. The test is performed on
material passing the No. 10 (2.0-mm) or finer sieve and the results are
presented as the mass percent finer versus the log of the particle diameter
