Scope

This Standard sets out a method for the determination of the percent dispersion of a soil at the 0.005 mm particle dimension.
The method is used in conjunction with AS 1289.3.6.3. It is therefore necessary, in addition to this test, to perform a normal hydrometer fine analysis as described in AS 1289.3.6.3.
NOTE: This method may also be known as the SCS test (U.S. Soil Conservation Service) or double hydrometer test.
