Hydrometer Kit, Standard Set

With the Hydrometer Kit using the hydrometer method, a sample is first cleaned of organic matter. It is then weighed and dried, suspended in water, and sieved.

The solution that passes through the sieve is transferred to a measuring cylinder with water. Hydrometer readings are then taken at regular intervals. These hydrometer readings, combined with sedimentation time, are used to determine the grain sizes according to the Stoke’s Law.
