Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Laboratory Testing of Soil - Part 1: Determination of Water Content
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 17892-1 standard focuses on the laboratory determination of water content in soil samples. The document provides guidelines for conducting the test using the oven-drying method.
The water content of soil is an essential parameter for classifying natural soils and for quality control in re-compacted soils. It is also necessary for various field and laboratory tests. The oven-drying method described in the standard is considered the definitive procedure used in laboratory practice.
By measuring the water content of soil samples, engineers and researchers can assess the soil's moisture content and make informed decisions regarding its usage. This standard provides a systematic approach to the determination of water content, ensuring accuracy and consistency across different laboratories and testing facilities.
