The arbitary limit of water content that represents the boundary between the liquid & plastic state is called as liquid limit.

The purpose or importance of the liquid limit test is to classify soils. Various soils will have various liquid amounts.

What are the equations between plastic limit and liquid limit?

The Liquid Limit can be tested for (see wikipedia) in different ways. One is with a liquid limit device you can use the equation LL=(W^n)*(N/25)^0.121 where w is the water content and N is the number of times the device was cranked

Why liquid limit and plastic limit are important?

The Atterberg limits of a soil are used as an integral part of several engineering classification systems to characterize fine-grained soils. Also these limits are used directly in specifications for controlling soil for use in fills, and in semi-empirical methods of design. A wide variety of engineering properties of soils have also been correlated to the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index of soils (i.e. Compressibility, Permeability, and Strength).


Is there a limit to the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid?

Not really, since you can always increase the pressure and dissolve more. You do reach limits when the liquid ceases to be recognized as a liquid, or the gas itself becomes a liquid


When is liquid a solution?

When a compound become insoluble in a liquid at a given temperature and pressure a saturated solution is obtained; the limit of solubility is reached.


When is a liquid solution saturated?

What is the consistency of soil at liquid limit and Plastic Limit?

zerozeroConsistency limits and plasticityConsistency varies with the water content of the soil. The consistency of a soil can range from (dry) solid to semi-solid to plastic to liquid (wet). The water contents at which the consistency changes from one state to the next are called consistency limits (or Atterberg limits).Two of these are utilised in the classification of fine soils:Liquid limit (wL) - change of consistency from plastic to liquidPlastic limit (wP) - change of consistency from brittle/crumbly to plasticMeasures of liquid and plastic limit values can be obtained from laboratory tests.
