Test method
	BS1377: Part 8:  1990			2.1	small pouring cylinder*
				2.2	large pouring cylinder
Calibration
*Mean mass of sand in cone of pouring cylinder  (m2)											g
Volume of calibration container  (V)    (200*200mm)											mL
*Mass of sand + cylinder before pouring					(m1)						g
* Mean mass of sand + cylinder after pouring   (m3)											g
*Mass of sand to fill calibrating container   (ma =m1-m2-m3)											g
Bulk density of sand ps =			ma	/   V							Mg/m3
Test no.
Mass of wet soil from hole  mw					g
*Mass of sand + cylinder before pouring  m1					g
*Mass of sand + cylinder after pouring   m4					g
*Mass of sand in hole (mb= m1-m4-m2)					g
Ratio	mw	/ mb
Bulk density p =		mw/mb	* Ps		Mg/m3
Moisture content container no.
Moisture content					%
Dry density pd =		100 p	/ 100+w		Mg/m3
