The Bottom Withdrawal Tube method of
determining particle size distribution is based on application
of the Stokes Law using the Oden curve. The Bottom Withdrawal
Tube consists of a transparent tube of large diameter which is
open at one end and contracted at the other to a short section
of small tube, on which is slipped a short piece of rubber tube
which can be opened or closed with a pinch-clamp. The tube which
is shown is 48 inches (1.22 meters) long with a 1" inside
diameter, large enough to hold a pint (0.5 liter) sample. It is
drawn down at the lower end to 1/4 inch (6.4 cm) inside diameter
on which is slipped a 2" (5 cm) length of rubber tube closed by
a pinch-clamp.
