EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 17892-12 testing. This standard covers methods for determining the liquid and plastic limits of a soil. These include two of the Atterberg limits for soils.
Specifically, it describes a test method for determining the compressibility of a soil sample using a consolidation test. This test involves applying a series of loads to the soil sample and measuring the resulting deformation over time.
The plastic limit of a soil is the water content in which a soil stops being plastic when dried further. The determination of the plastic limit is normally done in conjunction with the determination of the liquid limit. It is recognized that test results are subject to operator judgment and there will be some variation in results.
In general, EN ISO 17892-12 is a standard that provides a framework for evaluating the mechanical and hydraulic properties of soils important to a wide variety of engineering and construction applications.
