IS 2720 : Part 3 : Sec 2 : 1980 : Methods of test for soils: Part 3 Determination of specific gravity, Section 2 Fine, medium and coarse grained soils

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part III/Sec 2 ) lays down the method of test for the determination of the specific gravity of soil particle of fine, medium and coarse-grained soils. It is not suitable for soils containing more than 10 percent of stones retained on a 40-mm IS sieve and such stones should be broken down to le~s than this size.
