Hydrometer Test

This document contains data from a grain size analysis test using a hydrometer on a soil sample. It includes hydrometer readings taken at various time intervals that were used to determine the percentage of soil particles finer than specific sizes. It also includes constants for calculating effective depth and information on test procedures, such as dispersing agent used and hydrometer type. The data aims to characterize the grain size distribution of the soil sample tested.
