IS 12175 : 2025 Rapid Moisture Meter for Rapid Determination of Water Content of Soil - Specification
| ICS 13.080.20; 93.020 | CED 43 |
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the moisture meter used for rapid determination of water content from the gas pressure developed by the reaction of calcium carbide with the free water of the soil.
1.2 The standard covers following ranges of percentage of water content (wet weight basis) determined using rapid moisture meter:
a) 0 percent to 25 percent; and
b) 0 percent to 50 percent.
