Laboratory determination of the in-place density of soil by the drive-cylinder method for thin-walled, ring-lined samplers.
3
Liquid and Plastic Limits / Plasticity Index - ASTM 4318
Laboratory determination of the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soil passing the No. 40 sieve.
4
Loss by Wash - ASTM D1140
Laboratory determination of amount of material finer than the No. 200 sieve by washing.
5
