Scope
This Standard sets out the method for the determination of the moisture content of a soil as a percentage of its dry mass using a system of infrared lights.
The infrared lights method is a rapid method, and is considered less accurate than the standard method (see AS 1289.2.1.1).
This method is not suitable for soils containing gypsum, calcareous or organic matter since the temperature of drying cannot be controlled.
