LabSuite supports both sieve and hydrometer tests.

Sieve and hydrometer test standards

• ASTM C136 • ASTM D1140 • ASTM D6913 • ASTM D7928 • AASHTO T 11 • AASHTO T 27 • AASHTO T 88 • AASHTO T 311 • ASTM D422 (standard retired, but still supported) • State DOT Standards • Australian Standard 1141.11

Sieve tests

• Sieve tests can utilize multiple sample splits
• "Sieve nest" lists simplify data entry by pre-filling in the list of sieves used for a test

Material specifications

• The software can check for sample conformance with up to three material specifications
• Specifications are stored in a program-maintained database for reuse on subsequent tests

Calculated results

• A composite particle size distribution curve is built from sieve and hydrometer tests performed on a single split sample
• Fractional percentages (e.g., percent gravel, coarse, medium and fine sand, etc.) are calculated and reported. Percentages can be calculated using the particle size divisions specified by ASTM, AASHTO, Burmister, Wentworth, CanSIS, BS 5930 and others.
• Diameters at various retained percentages (e.g., D₁₀, D₃₀, D₆₀), coefficients of concavity and uniformity (C_c and C_u) fineness modulus results are automatically calculated from the particle size distribution curve

Reporting

• Curves may be plotted on semi-log, Wentworth (Phi), .45 power, log(size) vs. probability or linearly-scaled charts
• Charts can also include specification envelopes or specification bars indicating conformance to user-entered specifications

• Atterberg standards: ASTM D4318 • AASHTO T 89 • AASHTO T 90 • Australian Standard 1289.3.1.1, 1289.3.2.1 and 1289.3.3.1
• Index values (Atterberg liquid and plastic limit, plasticity and liquidity index) are automatically calculated from raw moisture content data and blow counts
• One-point liquid limits are supported
• Natural moisture contents are calculated via ASTM D2216
• Using particle size and Atterberg data the program can automatically classify soils using a number of different methods, including USCS (ASTM D 2487) AASHTO M 145 (aka ASTM D3282), USDA, Burmister and AS 1726.
  
  Additional DOT-specific classification systems are freely downloadable from our website/
• USDA textural triangle reports can be generated

• Moisture-density test standards: ASTM D698 • ASTM D1557 • ASTM D4718 • AASHTO T 99 • AASHTO T 180 • AASHTO T 224 • California Test Method 216 • User-Defined + State DOT Standards
• Optimum moisture and maximum dry density results are automatically calculated from the mathematically-modeled moisture vs. density curve
• Results can be automatically corrected for the presence of oversize (rock) material
• Oversize correction supports the coarse/fine mass ratio oversize percentage determination per D4718
• User-defined test specification table allows you to add support for DOT-specific blows/layers/mold diameter requirements
• When matched with curves form multi-point tests on similar soils, moisture-density curves may be synthesized from one-point Proctor tests
• Container weight database: The software can be set up to keep a list of IDs and weights for moisture content containers
• Selectively omit compaction test points from the moisture-density curve
• Moisture-density test results rounding are selectable on a per-test specification basis (e.g., ASTM D 698 requires rounding the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content to the nearest 0.1, while D 1557 requires rounding to the nearest 0.5)
• Selectable chart scales

LabSuite pulls together data for a number of "quick" soil tests onto one screen:

• ASTM D2216 (moisture content)
• ASTM D854 (soil specific gravity)
• ASTM D2974 (organics via ignition)
• ASTM C127 (coarse aggregate specific gravity and absorption)
• ASTM C128 (fine aggregate specific gravity and absorption)
