Soil Hydrometer

The Soil Hydrometer is a precision laboratory instrument used for determining the distribution of fine soil particles suspended in water. It is commonly used in soil mechanics and geotechnical laboratories to study the particle-size characteristics of materials that are too fine to be effectively evaluated through conventional sieve analysis.

The instrument measures changes in the density of a soil-water suspension as particles gradually settle. These observations help laboratory professionals determine the relative proportion of fine particles such as silt and clay and develop a better understanding of the soil's grading characteristics.

Designed for clear measurement and convenient laboratory handling, the Soil Hydrometer is suitable for civil engineering laboratories, educational institutions, geotechnical testing facilities, construction quality-control laboratories, and research applications. It supports systematic soil analysis and provides useful data for soil classification and engineering evaluation.
