Bulk Density of Sand s = ____________gm/cm3 , Mass of Sand in Cone Wc = __________gm

Sr.No. Description 1 2

1 Location / Chainage

2 Mass of sand + cylinder before pouring into hole w1 gm

3 Mass of wet soil w2 gm

4 Mass of sand + cylinder after pouring into hole w3 gm

5 Mass of sand in hole, wh = (w1 - w3) - wc

6 Bulk Density = w2 / wh x s in gm/cm3

7 Container no.

8 Mass of container + wet soil, w1 gm

9 Mass of container + dried soil, w2 gm

10 Mass of container, w3 gm

11 Mass of dried soil, (w2-w3) gm

12 Mass of moisture (w1-w2) gm

13 Moisture content (%), w = (w1-w2) / (w2-w3) x 100

Field Dry Density d = 100 x  / 100 + w gm/cm
