ASTM 0427 Standard Test for Shrinkage Factors of Soils by Mercury Method

This test method is performed only on the portion of soil that passes through a 425-um (No. 40) sieve. When using this test method to evaluate the properties of the soil as a whole, the relative contribution of this part of the soil should be taken into account.

This test method is widely used in geotechnical engineering to determine the shrinkage potential of soils and to evaluate the suitability of soils for construction projects.

The test results can also be used to determine the soil-water characteristic curve, which is a key relationship used to predict the behavior of soils under different moisture conditions.
