Lab Readings:
Empty weight of Calibrated Cylinder =W= 1684 gm
Wt of Sand Replacement Apparatus + Sand (before pouring) = w1
Wt of Sand Replacement Apparatus + Sand (after pouring) = w2
Wt of Sand in Cone =w3=w1-w2
Weight of Calibrated Cylinder + Sand= w4
Wt of Sand Filling Calibrated Cylinder = w5=w4-w
In-Situ Readings:
Wt of Sand Replacement Apparatus + Sand (before pouring) = W6
Wt of Sand Replacement Apparatus + Sand (after pouring) = W7
Wt of sand to fill the pit =w8=w6-w7-w3
Wt of Soil Excavated From Hole =W9
Empty Wt of Can =W10
Empty wt of Can + Soil Sample= W11
Wt of Oven Dried Soil Sample= W12
