This Standard sets out the method for laboratory determination of the moisture content of a soil as a percentage of its dry mass, using a standard oven.

This Standard sets out the method for laboratory determination of the moisture content of a soil as a percentage of its dry mass, using a standard oven. This method is the standard or reference method. Where subsidiary methods are used, they may be correlated with this method by use of the procedure described in AS 1289.B3.1.
