scope:
The method specified can be applied to all types of soil samples. Different procedures are specified for air-dried soil samples, e.g. samples pretreated according to ISO 11464, and for field-moist soil samples. Its principle is drying soil samples to constant mass at 105 °C and using the difference in mass of an amount of soil before and after the drying procedure to calculate the dry matter and water contents on a mass basis. For the determination of soil water content on a volume basis, refer to ISO 11461. (Page 2: 7.1.1 (1st and 3rd paragraph) - s mg should read 10 mg. 7.1.4 (last line) - 1 mg should read 10 mg.)
