EN ISO 17892-3 Geotechnical Investigation and Tests - Standard Test for Particle Density

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 17892-3 testing. EN ISO 17892-3 is a European standard that defines the method for determining the particle density and water absorption of soils in the laboratory. This standard is part of the EN ISO 17892 series covering various aspects of soil testing and characterization.

The particle density of soil is the mass of solid particles per unit volume, while water absorption is the amount of water a soil sample can absorb. These properties are important for understanding the physical and mechanical behavior of soils, as well as for the design of foundations, retaining walls, and other structures that interact with the soil.

In general, EN ISO 17892-3 is an important standard for soil testing and characterization. It provides a standardized method for determining the particle density and water absorption necessary to understand the physical and mechanical properties of soils.

Particle density values ​​are used to calculate the porosity and void ratio of soils, as well as their permeability, compressibility, and shear resistance. Particle density testing can also be used to evaluate the suitability of soils for different engineering applications such as fill construction, foundation design and slope stability analysis.
