Objective:
This test is intended to determine the density of soil samples.

Equipment:

1. Ring
2. Calliper
3. Balance

Procedure:

1. Pray before starting practice

2. Clean the ring weight will be used.
3. Weigh a ring (W.1)
4. Measure the inside diameter and height by using a shove, calculate its volume (V).
5. Enter a soil sample into the ring
6. Flatten the surface of the ground on each end of the ring with a knife cutter.
7. Weigh ring and Soil (W.2)
8. Pray after completion

Pictures :

Reporting of The Result:

No. Description I II III

1. Weigth of empety ring in gram (W.1) 1,3 1,3 1,3
2. Volume of ring in cm³ (V) 220 220 220
3. Volume of ring + soil in gram (W.2) 376, 432 370
8
4. Weight of soil in gram (W3=W2-W1) 375, 430, 368,7
5 7
5. Density of soil in gram/cm³ 1,7 1,96 1,67
6. Average value in gram/cm³ 1,77

Density = W3/V
An average of three determinations sholud be taken
A sample calculation is shown above

Maintenance:
Clean the ring and callpier after the experimen is finished
