Working Principle

Accurate determination of shrinkage limit of soils as per standard test methods.

The Shrinkage Limit Device works on the principle of determining the moisture content of a soil at which further reduction in water content does not cause any further decrease in volume of the soil mass.

A soil sample is placed in the standard porcelain dish and allowed to dry gradually. The volume of the soil is measured before and after drying to determine the shrinkage limit.

The shrinkage limit is an important parameter in soil classification and is used in geotechnical engineering for evaluating the volume change behavior of soils.
