Determination of Specific Gravity of Soil ( Pycnometer Method ) : Calculator

1. Determination Of Specific Gravity Of Soil

The determination of the specific gravity of soil shall be calculated as follows:

G = (M₂ − M₁) / [(M₄ − M₁) − (M₃ − M₂)]

Where,

G is Specific Gravity

M₁ is the mass of the density bottle in gram

M₂ is a mass of bottle and dry soil in gram

M₃ is a mass of bottle, soil, and liquid in gram

M₄ is the mass of a bottle when full of liquid only in gram
