The shrinkage limit of a soil can be defined as the level of moisture content beyond which no further reduction of moisture results in a reduction in volume. When conducting this test, one can obtain data that allows for the calculation of various parameters such as the Shrinkage limit, Shrinkage ratio, Shrinkage index, and Volumetric index. These calculations can provide valuable insights into the properties and behavior of the soil in question.

Our shrinkage limit set consists of a porcelain evaporating dish, shrinkage dish, glass cup, spatula, perspex plate, mercury 750g and straight edge.
