Test method
BS1377: Part 9:  1990 2.3
Ring diameter				Depth of hole					mm (if specified:Yes/No*)
Volume of test hole						Wet mass of material
1.	Surface correction		Depth			Material + drum 1   kg
	Initial volume of water in ring above					Drum 1			Material
	prepared surface					Material + drum 2   kg
	(Ri)					Drum 2			Material
2.	Test hole + ring					Material + drum 3   kg
	Final volume of water in hole					Drum 3			Material
	and density ring		L			Material + drum 4   kg
	(Rf)					Drum 4			Material
	(Alternative: hole + ring-oversize   L
	material (Rp)					Wet mass of total material (mw)  kg

LABORATORY TESTS
Moisture content						Mass and volume of oversize material
Container no:						Specified size limit    BS Sieve
Mass of wet soil + container g						Container no.
Mass of dry soil + container g						Method of separation:
Mass of container  g
Mass of moisture  g						Mass of oversize material (ms)  Kg
Mass of dry soil  g						Volume of oversize material (vs)  m3
For total material
Moisture content (w)  %
For smaller than specified size
Moisture content (wp)  %
For total material :						For material finer than specified limit:
						(a) Where oversize material replaced in hole:
Bulk density (p) =		mw	=			Dry density =		mw - ms	100
		Vh * 1000			Mg/m3			Rp-Ri	100 + Wp		Mg/m3
						(b) Where volume oversize material obtained separately
Dry density (pd) =		p*1000				Dry density =		mw - ms	100
		100 + w			Mg/m3			Vh - Vs	100 + Wp		Mg/m3
