Abstract: A concept of mean particle size and size factor is presented in this paper and an attempt is made to relate the hydraulic conductivity to mean particle size, taking into account the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density. The distribution of particle size has a significant effect on hydraulic conductivity. It is possible to determine the mean particle size and size factor from the gradation curve. For the purpose of experimental analysis, three samples of soils were collected, local river sand available in market, coarse sand1.18mm sieve and quarry dust. For determining the hydraulic conductivity a constant head permeability test is conducted. A few exact conditions to compute water powered conductivity utilizing grain estimate dispersion of unconsolidated spring materials have been assessed in this examination. Evaluating examination of soil tests extricated from the test openings during ground water examination venture was performed to decide their arrangement and molecule measure dispersion attributes, from which pressure driven conductivities were figured. In particular, every single exact equation are to be utilized carefully inside the space of appropriateness.
