IS 13030 : 2025 Laboratory Determination of Water Content, Porosity, Density and Related Properties of Rock Material - Method of Test

ICS 91.100.30

CED 48

1 SCOPE

This standard gives the procedure for the test to evaluate water content, porosity, density and related properties of rock material. The following test methods have been covered:

a) Determination of the water content of rock sample;

b) Determination of porosity and density using saturation and caliper technique;

c) Determination of porosity and density using saturation and buoyancy; and

d) Determination of porosity and density using mercury displacement and grain specific gravity technique.
