gINT Hydrometer Analysis
(OP)
Has anyone used gINT software to report a hydrometer analysis? I am having a question on the hydrometer calibration function.

Find the ASTM Standard for hydrometers (was in one of the Volume 14s, IIRC). If you don't have a copy, buy it via download from www.astm.org. The calibration procedure is given in that standard.
I don't manage a soils lab anymore (moved companies, too), so I no longer have access to that information.
Basically, you account for temperature differences in the hydrometer reading using a standardized solution.

You may want to check the initial calibration for the 152 that came with gINT, and make corrections if warranted.
