Input
Lab-Class | Density
To calculate the soil density, you must first select the standard from the Test_Method field on the Density table that the specimen is being tested against, and then select the Test Type, and the Specimen Type. Once selected, click Save and the necessary data entry fields will be automatically highlighted to assist you in entering the relevant data for the selected test method.
Enter the test data in the data entry fields and click Save, CTRL+S or change table to initiate the calculation. The values will be calculated automatically and the result will be displayed in the calculated fields.
The Bulk_Density and the Dry_Density will be calculated. The calculation of Dry_Density is dependent on a Moisture_Content result existing for the same specimen.
In addition, the following parameters will be calculated in the same Density table: Void_Ratio, Porosity, Moisture_Content_by_Volume, Saturation, Bulk_Unit_Weight, Submerged_Density and Submerged_Unit_Weight.
Output
