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 sand bath. The sand bath method is a rapid method and is considered less accurate than the standard method (see AS 1289.2.1.1).

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 sand bath.The sand bath method is a rapid method and is considered less accurate than the standard method (see AS1289.2.1.1).This method is not suitable for soils containing gypsum, calcareous material or organic matter since the temperature of drying cannot be controlled.
