Particle Size Distribution

The analysis of soils by particle size provides a useful engineering classification system from which a considerable amount of empirical data can be obtained.

Two separate and different procedures are used. Sieving is used for gravel and sand sized particles and sedimentation procedures are used for the finer soils.

For soil containing a range of coarse and fine particles it is usual to employ a composite test of sieving and sedimentation procedures.

ELE offer a complete range of testing equipment including:

• Soil Hydrometers
• Sedimentation Cylinders
• Constant Temperature Bath
• Andreasen Pipette with Stand
• Mechanical Analysis Stirrer
