    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    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.
