Hydrometer No. Average Temperature (°C) R R' - C +C

This document contains data from a hydrometer test. It includes hydrometer readings taken over time at different temperatures to determine particle size distribution and percent finer. Calculations are shown to convert hydrometer readings into effective size using Stokes' law and the percent of particles finer than various sizes based on the original soil weight. The results indicate that after 1440 minutes, 1.1% of particles were finer than 0.0111 mm in size.
