IS 2720 : Part 3 : Sec 1 : 1980 Methods of test for soils: Part 3 Determination of specific gravity Section 1 fine grained soils

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part III/Sec 1 ) lays down the methods of test for the determination of the ,specific gravity of soil particle of fine grained soils (see Note).

NOTE - The method may also be used for medium and coarse grained soils if the coarse partiCles are grained to pass 4'75-mm IS sieve before using.
