About 15g of dried soil passing through IS 425 micron is taken for plastic limit determination and is mixed with a sufficient amount of water which would enable to soil mass become plastic enough to be easily shape into a ball. When a diameter of 3 mm is reached, the soil is remolded into a ball.
The process of making the threat and remolded continuous till the threat at a dia. Of 3 mm, just start crumbling.
