Determine the liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit of fine-grained soil, classify soil types, and calculate the plasticity index for use in design institutes and construction. According to the different moisture contents of soil, Liquid Limit Tester can be divided into flowing state, plastic state, semi-solid state, and solid state.
This Soil Liquid And Plastic Limit United Device is suitable for particles with a particle size of less than 0.5mm and an organic matter content not exceeding 5% of the dry soil mass.
Fine grained soil transitions between flowing, plastic, semi-solid, and solid states due to moisture content variations. The device identifies the upper limit moisture content of fine-grained soil in a plastic state (liquid limit). The soil shrinkage limit apparatus determines the lower limit of water content for a plastic state, marking the boundary where volume no longer decreases during the transition from semi-solid to solid.
