The sample to be tested is placed in a special solution of calcium chloride, formaldehyde and glycerin. After shaking the cylinder, it is allowed to stand for a 20-minute sedimentation period. Readings are then taken on the cylinder scale for the level of the top of the clay suspension and for the sand level. The “Sand Equivalent” is the sand reading divided by the clay reading x 100.

The Sand Equivalent Test Set includes everything needed to perform the test, except for the Shaker.
