Plastic Limit Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Plastic Limit.
Shrinkage limit is the maximum water content at which a reduction
in water content does not cause an appreciable reduction in volume
of the Soil Mass. At shrinkage limit, on further reduction in water, air
enters in to the voids of soils and thus keeps the volume constant.
The apparatus can be used to determine shrinkage limit and to
calculate other shrinkage ratio, shrinkage index and volumetric
shrinkage.
