The specified method can be applied to any soil sample. Different procedures are specified for air-dried soil samples, e.g. samples pretreated to ISO 11464, and moist soil samples in the field.
Its principle is to dry the soil samples to constant mass at 105°C and to use some soil mass difference before and after the drying procedure to calculate the dry matter and water content on a mass basis.
The dry matter content of the soil refers to the mass of the soil sample after all water has been removed. The water content represents the proportion of water present in the soil sample.
The gravimetric method outlined in ISO 11465 includes the following steps:
ISO 11465 provides specific requirements and details on equipment, temperature, sample handling and calculations to enable standardized and accurate determination of dry matter and water content in soil samples.
By following the procedures outlined in this standard, researchers, environmental scientists and soil analysts can obtain consistent and reliable results for assessing soil quality and understanding moisture characteristics.
