Particle Size Analysis Test Set
Product Code : LSK-SM-10655
Particle Size Analysis Test Set (SKU LSK-SM-10655) is a temperature-controlled water bath that holds eight hydrometer jars at a steady temperature during hydrometer analysis of fine soils, since temperature changes the viscosity of the suspension and the hydrometer readings. Soil mechanics labs in engineering colleges, polytechnics and TVET institutes use it for the silt and clay part of grading. A quotation for the bath can be had from Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India by institutes, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The eight-jar hydrometer bath's figures, from heater rating to plumbing ports, fill the table below. In short, a stainless steel tank with an enamel exterior holds the jars on a stainless grid, while a 700 W immersion heater and a motor-driven pump keep the water between ambient and 60 °C to ±0.2 °C.

Applications and Experiments for the Particle Size Analysis Test Set
The set is used for hydrometer (sedimentation) analysis, which measures the proportion of silt and clay in a soil after sieving has separated the coarser fraction. Eight jars let a class run several samples at once, all at the same temperature, in degree, diploma and TVET soil mechanics practicals.
- B.E./B.Tech civil engineering: grain size distribution of fine soils by the hydrometer method, with the oven-dry soil weighed on a Triple Beam Balance 610g.
- Diploma civil engineering: combined sieve and hydrometer analysis for soil classification, measuring dispersing solution in a Measuring Cylinder 250ml.
- TVET civil and road materials modules: silt and clay content of fill and subgrade soils.
Standard Scope of Supply
The bath is supplied as described above, with its stainless steel tank, jar grid, immersion heater, circulating pump and plumbing ports. Hydrometers, sedimentation jars and dispersing agent are separate items; ask for them on the quotation if your lab needs them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one bath or several for parallel groups; each quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for your quantity. Grain size charts, an oven for drying samples and other vocational training equipment for the soil lab can be quoted together.
Science Lab Supplies, registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Mention your mains voltage and the number of baths when you write via the contact page, or park the bath in the enquiry cart with jars and charts; public-sector purchases are covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Particle Size Analysis Test Set do?
It keeps up to eight hydrometer jars at a controlled temperature, from ambient to 60 °C, during hydrometer analysis, so readings are not upset by temperature drift in the lab.
What power supply does it need?
It works on 110 to 230 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. The supply runs the 700 W immersion heater in its stainless steel mixing chamber and the motor-driven circulating pump.
How much bench space does it take?
Outside dimensions are 1016 x 254 x 584 mm (40 x 10 x 23 in) and the net weight is 36 kg, so plan a sturdy bench near a drain for the overflow and drain ports.
Who supplies the Particle Size Analysis Test Set?
The bath is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, a TVET lab equipment supplier in Ambala, India. Any other soil lab items you list, such as charts or a drying oven, can be priced on the same quotation.
