Conclusions
In the case of hydraulic filling of fine sand the dry density in the loosest γ∿ and densest γd possible state is determined depending on its percentage content of particles larger than 0.25 mm or content of fractions 0.10–0.50 mm from the graphs in Figs. 3 and 4, and if the value of one of them is known from the graph in Fig. 2 or Fig. 5. Using the graph in Fig. 5, we can find γ∿ and D for known γd and γD or find γ∿ and γD for known γd and D.
