ThistestisdonetodeterminethewatercontentinsoilbycalciumcarbidemethodasperIS:2720(PartII)1973.Itisamethodforrapiddetermination
of water content from the gas pressure developed by the reaction of calcium carbide with the free water of the soil. From the calibrated scale of the
pressuregaugethepercentageofwaterontotalmassofwetsoilisobtainedandthesameisconvertedtowatercontentondrymassofsoil.
Apparatusrequired:
i)Metallicpressurevessel,withaclampforsealingthecup,alongwithagaugecalibratedinpercentagewatercontent
ii)Counterpoisedbalance,forweighingthesample
iii)Scoop,formeasuringtheabsorbent(CalciumCarbide)
iv)Steelballs3steelballsofabout12.5mmdia.and1steelballof25mmdia.
v)Onebottleoftheabsorbent(CalciumCarbide)
PREPARATIONOFSAMPLE

pressurevessels.Thetestrequiresabout6gofsample.
ProceduretodetermineWaterContentInSoilByCalciumCarbideMethod
i)Setupthebalance,placethesampleinthepantillthemarkonthebalancearmmatcheswiththeindexmark.
ii)Checkthatthecupandthebodyareclean.
iii) Hold the body horizontally and gently deposit the levelled, scoopfull of the absorbent (Calcium Carbide) inside the
chamber.
iv)Transfertheweighedsoilfromthepantothecup.
v)Holdcupandchamberhorizontally,bringingthemtogetherwithoutdisturbingthesampleandtheabsorbent.
vi) Clamp the cup tightly into place. If the sample is bulky, reverse the above placement, that is, put the sample in the
chamberandtheabsorbentinthecup.
vii)Incaseofclayeysoils,placeallthe4steelballs(3smallerand1bigger)inthebodyalongwiththeabsorbent.
viii)Shaketheunitupanddownvigorouslyinthispositionforabout15seconds.
ix)Holdtheunithorizontally,rotatingitfor10seconds,sothattheballsrollaroundtheinnercircumferenceofthebody.
x)Restfor20seconds.
xi)Repeattheabovecycleuntilthepressuregaugereadingisconstantandnotethereading.Usuallyittakes4to8minutesto
achieveconstantreading.Thisisthewatercontent(m)obtainedonwetmassbasis.
xii)Finally,releasethepressureslowlybyopeningtheclampscrewandtakingthecupout,emptythecontentsandcleantheinstrumentwithabrush.
