Originator: ISO

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

Type: International Standard

ICS: 13.080.10 Chemical characteristics of soils

Scope

Specifies a method for the determination of the total carbon content in soil after dry combustion. The organic carbon content is calculated from this content after correcting for carbonates present in the sample. If carbonates are removed beforehand, the organic carbon content is measured directly. Applicable to all types of air-dried soil samples.
