SEDIMENTATION ANALYSIS

Sedimentation analysis is also known as wet analysis. it is used for particle size less than
75 microns. The analysis is based on Stoke’s law. it includes preparation of suspension
for the test. About 50g of soil is weighed and transferred to an evaporating dish. To have
proper dispersion of soil, 100ml of a dispersion solution is added to the soil. The soil is
washed into a 1000ml jar and enough water is added to make 1000ml suspension. it
include Pipette method and Hydrometer analysis.
