According to the Handbook of tropical residual soils(Huat et al, 2012), it's a 100mm diameter sample up to 450 mm long, obtained with the British U100, which is an open-driver sampler that produces samples with much higher quality than the SPT.

If a soil sample is 60 sand particles and has 30 millon particles of soil how many of those soil particles are sand?

If the soil sample has 30 million particles of soil and 60 of those particles are sand, then the number of soil particles that are sand is 60. Sand particles represent 0.000002% of the total particles in the soil sample.


Which soil sample would lose water more?

The soil sample with smaller particles tends to hold water better than the soil sample with larger particles. This is because smaller particles have higher surface area and can retain more water due to capillary action. Therefore, the soil sample with larger particles would likely lose water more quickly.

Is a typical soil sample an example of a homogeneous mixture?

No, a typical soil sample is heterogeneous.A homogenous mixture means that all components of the mixture are equally distributed throughout the entire mixture. Soil, then, would not be a homogenous mixture. Every time one takes a sample of a soil mixture and analyzed it, it would have a different make-up then other samples taken from the soil mixture. One would seldom be able to get two samples that had the same make-up.No, soil is heterogeneous.No. A mixed sample, by Nature, is heterogenous and so may not also be a homogenous (pure) substance.


What are the advantages of conducting an experiment on undisturbed soil sample compared to disturbed soil sample?

A disturbed sample is one in which the structure of the soil has been changed sufficiently that tests of structural properties of the soil will not be representative of in-situ conditions, and only properties of the soil grains (e.g., grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and possibly the water content) can be accurately determined. An undisturbed sample is one where the condition of the soil in the sample is close enough to the conditions of the soil in-situ to allow tests of structural properties of the soil to be used to approximate the properties of the soil in-situ.

How can porosity be measured?

Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.


What is the best speed to separate a soil sample in a centrifuge?

Very high speed is the best speed to separate a soil sample in a centrifuge.


How do you neutralize soil after fertilized?

To neutralise a sample of soil, you must determine the pH of the soil sample either acidic or alkaline. Add lime (e.g. Limestone) to acidic soil to neutralise it. And add sulphur to alkaline soil which will neutralise it.
