Abstract
Settling columns have been used for a number of years to determine the settling characteristics of flocculent suspensions. Important parameters in the usefulness of settling test data have not been fully examined. This paper attempts to examine the reliability of the settling test, the variations in the test due to column size, the variations due to solids concentration, and the variations due to the number of sampling ports.
