Testing for Silt Content in Sand
Measurement Cylindrical Jar. Percentage of Silt Content Formula = (V1/V2) x 100. V1 – Volume of the silt layer. V2 – Volume of the sand layer. For instance, using the silt content in sand formula, for a given sand sample, if V1 comes out to be 9 and V2 is 130, the % silt content would be 6.9 % . The permissible silt content in sand is 8%.
