Today once again we didn't have a morning meeting. Today me, my lab partner and Chris made the wet sieving machine and we tested it for leaks. When we tested it for leaks we saw that we needed to shorten the tubing because the water wasn't reaching all of the tubing and it was bending too much. After we shortened the tubing it was ready to start the first trial for sand. We had a couple problems with this machine and everything we needed to do with it. We ended up having to put the sieves in a big bag in the machine because the glue that we needed for the tubing to stay connected to the sieve was actually water soluble and that caused leaks after the 2nd time we ran it. After that problem was solved we got started on the first trial. We finished all of the sand trials today. We need to finish the clay and silt trials and also the gravel trials hopefully before we leave for the weekend but if we don't we need everything done by Monday afternoon.
