Britainâs response was swift. The following spring, Parliament passed four acts known collectively, by the British, as the âCoercive Acts.â Colonists, however, referred to them as the âIntolerable Acts.â First, the Boston Port Act shut down the harbor and cut off all trade to and from the city.
The bulk density often is the bulk density of the powder âas pouredâ or as passively filled into a measuring vessel. The tapped density is a limiting density attained after âtapping down,â usually in a device that lifts and drops a volumetric measuring cylinder containing the powder a fixed distance.
In soil testing for civil construction, Field Density testing would be amongst the most common. Its purpose is to determine the Field Dry Density (in t/m3) and Moisture Content (as a %) of the material being tested.The Field Dry Density is usually compared with a laboratory compaction test of the same soil type, to produce a ratio between field and laboratory compaction.(See Compaction below).ompaction testing as carried out in a soil testing laboratory is done to determine the Maximum Dry Density (t/m3) and the moisture content at which that is achieved known as the Optimum Moisture Content (%).
