  2. Hydrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer

    Schematic drawing of a hydrometer. The lower the density of the fluid, the deeper the weighted float B sinks. The depth is read off the scale A.. A hydrometer or lactometer is an instrument used for measuring density or relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy.

  3. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    In the hydrometer tests, the soil particles are mixed with water and shaken to produce a dilute suspension in a glass cylinder, and then the cylinder is left to sit. A hydrometer is used to measure the density of the suspension as a function of time. Clay particles may take several hours to settle past the depth of measurement of the hydrometer.

  4. Soil texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_texture

    The hydrometer is lowered into the cylinder containing the soil mixture at different times, forty-five seconds to measure sand content, one and a half hours to measure silt content and between six and twenty-four hours (depending on the protocol used) to measure clay. The number on the hydrometer that is visible (above the soil solution) is ...

    A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

  7. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    The specific heat of soil increases as water content increases, since the heat capacity of water is greater than that of dry soil. [89] The specific heat of pure water is ~ 1 calorie per gram, the specific heat of dry soil is ~ 0.2 calories per gram, hence, the specific heat of wet soil is ~ 0.2 to 1 calories per gram (0.8 to 4.2 kJ per ...

  8. Twaddell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twaddell_scale

    The Twaddell scale is a hydrometer scale used for measuring the specific gravity of liquids relative to water. On this scale, a specific gravity of 1.000 is reported as 0, and a specific gravity of 2.000 is reported as 200. [1]

  9. Talk:Hydrometer - Wikipedia

    I'm surprised that this article does not mention the hydrometer's use in measuring the specific gravity of freshwater or saltwater marine aquariums, especially considering that this is no doubt the most popular home-consumer use for the device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.212.12 02:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
