Question
Initial data for determining the specific gravity of a soil sample is given below:
Calibration of Pycnometer
(1) Mass of dry clean pycnometer, Mp= 317.11 g
(2) Mass of pycnometer + water at calibration temperature, Mpw,c = 903.03 g
(3) Observed temperature of water at calibration, T = 26.4°C
Secondary data for the determination of Specific Gravity is as follows:
Determination No:
Mass of pycnometer + soil + water at test temperature, Mpws,t (9)
Test Temperature, T₁ (°C)
Mass of pycnometer + water at T₁, Mpw,t (g)
Evaporating dish no.
Mass of evaporating dish, Md (g)
Mass of evaporating dish + oven-dried soil, Mds (9)
Mass of solids, Mş (9)
Conversion factor, K
Specific gravity of soil, Gs@20°C
1
966.17
22.3
1
15.52
115.51
Determine the Mass of pycnometer + water at T₁, Mpw,t. (Units of g, 2 decimal
places) Note: Find Pw,t using table 6-1.
