Soil Texture Analysis using Hydrometer Method and Soil Texture Diagram (Soil Practical)

This video is laboratory based in nature. It main purpose is to quickly show how soil texture analysis is carried out using Hydrometer Method following the standard protocol, and then finally determine the Soil Texture class using Soil Texture Diagram.
The main intention of this video is to help students in the following possible ways:
1. To get an idea how soil texture is analyzed in the laboratory and also how soil texture class is determine using soil texture diagram
2. A platform for them to recapitulate the step wise procedure that they have learned and conducted earlier in School/College/University
3. To recall, the entire procedure for analysis, determination and calculation, while preparing for exams

I'm elated with you beautiful compliment. My hard work is paid off. Feels bless to know. Thank you so so much. It means a lot.

The way you explain everything is impressive. However, I have a few questions, what is the type of hydrometer that you used, it looks similar on what we have used but we are having a hard time in solving. The unit of the hydrometer weve used is gram per cubic centimeter, the formula is for gram per liter.Should we convert it? Its our first time doing the method , I hope you understand sir. Thank you

I thank you so much for your kind words. I ll kindly request you to see it in the video, I am no longer in the same lab so I can't exactly remember what type it is or brand it is. It will be in the video only. Ok. Thank you 😊

Your welcome 🙏 Thanks alot

[@taragurung5233]

Thank you. It's very helpful. Quick question- does using distilled water instead of 400 ml tap water affect texture result?

[@JustLikeASteam]

My pleasure and I'm grateful to know that. Appreciate it very much 🙏. I belive it is a no. Interesting point, however maintain following the procedure. Thank you 😊

thank you for your explanation.. can i have a proper standard for reference besides books that u cited on video? thank in advance

[@JustLikeASteam]

The prescribed book that is use for this analysis is the one I mentioned in the video only (Meiti). Follow that ok. Thank you 😊

sir can you teach how to draw ternary diagrams (soil texture triangle) using excel

[@JustLikeASteam]

You can check the soil texture video. I did explain how to use the ST diagram. All the best and Thank you 😊
