  1. Use strong double sided tape to ensure discs do not shift in position while tests are in progress
    • Use strong double sided tape to ensure discs do not shift in position while tests are in progress

  2. Try as best to cover the entire area of the disc specimen with double sided tape. However, take note not to overlap tape as this could cause unnecessary gradient changes to the inclinometer reading during experiment.

  3. Notice the exposed area between the disc and the middle of the discholder
    • Notice the exposed area between the disc and the middle of the discholder

    • Align the disc with respect to the centre of the discholder.

    • Make sure the disc is aligned as best to the center with all 4 quadrants of roughly equal area

  4. Hang the ball specimen slightly above the surface of the disc specimen
    • Hang the ball specimen slightly above the surface of the disc specimen

    • Rotate the discholder in a clockwise manner

    • Complete 1 full round and ensure the course of rotation stays within surface area of disc specimen

    • Finally, press down on the disc specimen and make it as flat as possible to allow smoother inclinometer readings
