I. INTRODUCTION
The liquid limit device is used to determine when clay soils transition from a
plastic to a liquid condition. This hand-operated gadget has a left-side adjustable crank
and cam mechanism, a firm rubber base, a detachable brass cup, and a blow counter.
There are several versions available, each of which complies with the various Standards
now in use. They are similar in shape but differ in the type of base and cup weight.
Furthermore, all models are available in both manual and motorized variants. Grooving
tools, which are also used to refer to the various Standards, are not included and must
be purchased individually.
II. OBJECTIVE
To demonstrates the procedure for correctly adjusting a manual liquid limit device.
To inspect the liquid limit device prior to use by checking points of contact, wear
areas, connecting screws and pin play,
B. Observation
To set the liquid limit device correctly, the cup of the liquid limit device should
be set with the height of 1cm or 10mm from the base of the machine at the point
where the cup contacts the base.
V. CONCLUSION
I conclude that it is critical to calibrate the liquid limit device to ensure that the drop
height is accurate. The test results will be erroneous if the drop height is incorrect. It's
also important to remember to calibrate the liquid limit device every time we utilize it for a
test.
