This tab is used to specify the information for the liquid limit. The test for plastic limit uses the multi-point method (Method A) if more than one measurement (set) is specified and the one-point method (Method B) if only one measurement is specified.

 

 

Sets (measurements) can be added and deleted using the Add Set and Delete Set buttons. The measurements for each set consist of the information below:

 

Set: This is the set number and is filled in by the program.

 

Tare with Wet Soil: This is used to specify the mass of the tare and wet soil.

 

Tare with Dry Soil: This is used to specify the mass of the tare and dry soil.

 

Tare Mass: This is used to specify the mass of the tare.

 

Blow Count: This is used to specify the number of blows.

 

Water Content: This is the calculated water content.

 

Fitted Water Content: If there is more than one set, this is the fitted water content obtained by fitting a line through the water contents and logarithm of the blow counts.

 

Liquid Limit: If there is only one set, this is the calculated liquid limit.
