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. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to institutes, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
A stainless steel tank with an enamel-finished exterior holds eight hydrometer jars on a stainless steel grid. A 700 W immersion heater in a stainless steel mixing chamber and a motor-driven circulating pump keep the water between ambient and 60 °C, with a sensitivity of ±0.2 °C at 20 °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.
- Diploma civil engineering: combined sieve and hydrometer analysis for soil classification.
- 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 not listed in its specification; ask for them on the quotation if needed.
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. Reach the team through the contact page, save items to the enquiry cart, or look at the lab tender page for tender support.
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.
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?
Science Lab Supplies, a TVET lab equipment supplier in Ambala, India, supplies the bath and quotes it with any other soil lab items you list.
