Title (German)

Geotechnische Erkundung und Untersuchung - Laborversuche an Bodenproben - Teil 1: Bestimmung des Wassergehalts (ISO 17892-1:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 17892-1:2014

Overview

This document is applicable to the laboratory determination of the water content of a soil test specimen by oven-drying within the scope of geotechnical investigations. The water content is required as a guide to the classification of natural soils and as a control criterion in re-compacted soils, and is measured on samples used for most field and laboratory tests. The ovendrying method is the definitive procedure used in usual laboratory practice. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-05-03 AA "Baugrund; Laborversuche (SpA zu CEN/TC 341/WG 6)" ("Soil, laboratory tests (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 341/WG 6)") at DIN.
