Determination of soil grain size composition by measuring apparent weight of float submerged in suspension

Abstract: A b s t r a c t. Texture is one of the most significant physical properties of soils. Over the years, several methods of its measuring were developed. The paper presents a method for determining the particle size composition of soils, based on the separation of particles in the sedimentation process. Density of suspension is determined on the basis of apparent weight changes of a float submerged in it. The weight of the float suspended on a thin line, at a given depth in the suspension, is measured with a sens… Show more

“…As can be seen in Figure 4 and as shown in the paper of Kaszubkiewicz et al (2017), results of measurements of the same fraction in the dynamometer method may vary by 2-4% depending on the measurement depth, and depending on the sample weight varies by 1 to 6%. Larger differences could be observed for larger depths of measurements.…”

“…The use of new measurement method obviously raises the problem of comparability of results with that obtained so far, the quantity of accidental and systematic errors and test result repeatability. The first tests of the method showed its satisfactory compliance with the results obtained in the pipette method and correctness of results for artificially prepared soil mixtures (Kaszubkiewicz et al 2017).…”
