B: Plastic Limit Testing Tools
Plastic limit is a test that involves rolling out a thread of the fine portion of a soil on a flat, non-porous surface.
The procedure is defined in ASTM Standard D4318.
If the soil is at a moisture content where its behavior is plastic, this thread will retain its shape down to a very narrow diameter.
The sample can then be remolded and the test repeated.
As the moisture content falls due to evaporation, the thread will begin to break apart at larger diameters.
The plastic limit is defined as the moisture content where the thread breaks apart at a diameter of 3.2 mm (about 1/8 inch).
A soil is considered non-plastic if a thread cannot be rolled out down to 3.2 mm at any moisture possible.

C: Shrinkage Limit Testing Tools
Shrinkage limit is a test that evaluates the water content of a soil where further
loss of moisture will not result in an additional volume reduction.
The test to determine the shrinkage limit is ASTM D4943.
The shrinkage limit is much less commonly used than the liquid and plastic limits.
