Particle Size Distribution by Hydrometer Analysis

This document summarizes the results of a hydrometer analysis test conducted on a soil sample from a boring in Jakarta, Indonesia. The test measured the particle size distribution of the soil over time as larger particles settled out of suspension. Most of the soil particles (98.2%) were smaller than 0.425 mm, with 93.2% passing a #200 sieve (0.075 mm). The hydrometer readings showed that after 1440 minutes, 17.42% of particles had diameters smaller than 0.0011 mm.
