Q: What is the capacity of density bottle used generally for determination of specific gravity of fine-grained soil in the laboratory as per IS 2720 (Part 3/sec-1)-1980?
  • A. 200 ml
  • B. 150 ml
  • C. 50 ml
  • D. 100 ml
Correct Answer: Option C - Density bottle method–The density bottle is used for the determination of specific gravity of fine-grained soils. It may be also used for medium and coarse grained soils. Provided that the soil is pulverized and passed through a 4.75 mm IS-sieve. The density bottle is a pycnometer of 50 ml capacity with a stopper.
