Product Details:

Shrinkage Limit Set is the maximum water content at which a reduction in water content does not cause an appreciable reduction in the volume of the soil mass. At shrinkage limit, on further reduction in water, air enters into the voids of soils and thus keeps the volume constant. The apparatus can be used to determine shrinkage limit and to calculate other shrinkage factors like shrinkage ratio, shrinkage index, and volumetric shrinkage.
