Estimation of HSP for Soil Mixtures

solvent, delete those whose HSP values are in the center

of Figure C9-1, choose to use only six solvents selected
in any way, or some other elimination method.

The price of that simplication is that the HSP values

won't be as well-determined as with the full set of
solvents in Table C9-1. It may be that is perfectly
satisfactory bargain for some readers!

F. Ref. 1, Chapter 5.4.6.3, page 271. Basically one applies a drop of
uid to a surface and observes whether the uid spreads along the
surface (wets the surface) or beads up where applied (does not wet
the surface).
