Bentonite Sand Content Test
Sand Content Test is done at the site to decide the volume level of sand present in the bentonite slurry. Past the passable permissible
limit of sand content present in the slurry can influence the drilling mud property.
Bentonite
Bentonite Ph Value Test
The suitable range of pH values for pile boring work is 9.5-12.0. It is a swift and effective bentonite test
Bentonite
Bentonite Swelling Capacity Test
As a swelling clay, Bentonite has the ability to absorb large quantities of water, which increases its volume by up to a factor of eight.
This makes Bentonite beds unsuitable for building and road construction. However, the swelling property is used to advantage in drilling mud and groundwater sealants.
Bentonite
Bentonite Viscosity Test
This test technique gives an indirect estimation of the viscosity of clay slurries using a Marsh Funnel and a graduated
cup of specific dimensions. This test technique gives a practical indicator of the viscosity.
Bentonite
Bentonite Fineness Test
The difference in Bentonite powder retained on the two IS sieves from the amount taken and reported as its percentage is the fineness value.
Bentonite
Bentonite Moisture Content Test
The sample is weighed accurately and spread uniformly in a porcelain disha dn kept in an air dry oven at 105+/- 2oC for two hours.
It is cooled and dried in a dessicator and the difference in mass percentage is taken
