One-Step Method for Determining Water Content and Density of Soil

Summary

Purdue University researchers have developed a new, one-step method for determining water content and density of soil in place, allowing for accurate measurements, faster testing, and a much safer testing environment. In addition, this technology provides a scheme for obtaining soil-specific calibration factors and procedures for adjusting data obtained from a test to improve the accuracy of resulting water content and density.

Technology Benefits
