This document describes an experiment to determine the free swell index of soils. The free swell index indicates the increase in volume of a soil sample when submerged in water without external constraints. The procedure involves measuring the final volumes of identical dry soil samples submerged in distilled water and kerosene. The free swell index is calculated as the percentage increase in the water sample's volume compared to the kerosene sample. Precautions are noted for highly expansive soils which may require a smaller sample size or larger graduated cylinder.
