Soil quality — Determination of dry matter and water content on a mass basis — Gravimetric method ISO/CD 11465

General information

Current stage: 30.99 CD approved for registration as DIS Oct 30, 2023

Originator: ISO

Owner: ISO/TC 190/SC 3 Chemical and physical characterization

Type: International Standard

ICS: 13.080.20 Physical properties of soils

Scope

The method specified can be applied to all types of soil samples. Different procedures are specified for air-dried soil samples, e.g. samples pretreated according to ISO 11464, and for field-moist soil samples. Its principle is drying soil samples to constant mass at 105 °C and using the difference in mass of an amount of soil before and after the drying procedure to calculate the dry matter and water contents on a mass basis. For the determination of soil water content on a volume basis, refer to ISO 11461.
