SO-Sieve is intuitive software that offers a range of tests like sieve analysis, hydrometer, and Atterberg limits tests. It classifies soil types based on USCS and comes with several intelligent features. Check out our website for more information.
I recently tried SO-Sieve, a software designed for sieve analysis, hydrometer, and Atterberg limits tests, featuring a user-friendly interface. I was particularly impressed by its capability to determine soil type based on USCS (Unified Soil Classification System). The software allows users to determine sieve analysis and Atterberg limits through test results or visual examination. Additionally, its hydrometer test can be calculated according to ASTM D7928 and ASTM D422 (withdrawn 2016) standards.
One of the unique features of SO-Sieve is the ability to randomly generate sieve analysis and hydrometer tests based on user-defined criteria. Another helpful quality of the software is that it informs users of the common ranges for input parameters. Additionally, the software exports outputs in both landscape and portrait formats, and presents test data and corresponding calculations in a separate format that is easy to understand. Users can also input test data via blank laboratory data sheets.
The software makes sieve analysis accessible by allowing visual examination to be used for particle-size distribution. And for hydrometer tests, users have the option to randomly generate sample tests based on user-defined criteria. The hydrometer calculation uses ASTMD7928, which involves a control cylinder correction and calibration relationship that is automatically applied. Users can also choose to use ASTM D422, which includes a normal correction, a separate correction for the effect of temperature and dispersing agent, automatic or manually assigned temperature correction, and composite correction measured at two temperatures, with corrections for other temperatures calculated by linear interpolation.
SO-Sieve's Atterberg limits tests also impressed me. Visual examination can be used to determine soil type according to the plasticity chart, and the software warns users when they do not satisfy the ASTM D4318 regulations.
Overall, I found SO-Sieve to be a robust software with unique features and user-friendly interface, making it an excellent choice for sieve analysis, hydrometer, and Atterberg limits tests. More information can be found on their website.
