SS ISO 17892-3:2025
Geotechnical investigation and testing – Laboratory testing of soil – Part 3: Determination of particle density
OVERVIEW
This part of SS ISO 17892 specifies methods for the determination of the particle density of soils.
This part of SS ISO 17892 is applicable to the laboratory determination of the particle density of soil within the scope of geotechnical investigations, and describes two methods, a pycnometer method by fluid displacement and a pycnometer method by gas displacement.
The fluid pycnometer method described in this part of SS ISO 17892 applies to soil types with particle sizes under about 4 mm, or soils crushed to meet this requirement. Larger pycnometers are used for coarser materials. The particle size of soils suitable for testing in the gas pycnometer is limited by the dimensions of the specimen container of the particular gas pycnometer being used.
