Sodium Hexametaphosphate 1lb Bottle, Package of 6

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a white, dry powder commonly used as a dispersing agent in soil hydrometer analysis. It plays a critical role in preventing clay platelets from clumping together during sedimentation, ensuring accurate measurements of silt and clay fractions in soil samples. SHMP is highly effective in promoting particle separation, making it an essential component in geotechnical and soil science testing.

Key Features:

• Disperses fine particles for more accurate soil texture analysis
• Prevents clay platelet aggregation in sedimentation solutions
• Easy to dissolve in water for quick preparation

Applications:

Sodium Hexametaphosphate is widely used in soil analysis for agricultural, construction, and environmental purposes, providing reliable data for soil classification and behavior prediction.

Applicable Test Methods:

• AASHTO T88 – Particle Size Analysis of Soils
• ASTM C775 – Laboratory Preparation of Soil and Rock Samples
• ASTM D422 – Particle-Size Analysis of Soils

This versatile dispersing agent is a must-have for laboratories conducting hydrometer tests or any soil particle size analysis requiring precision and consistency.
