This Standard covers the determination of the percentage by mass of organic matter present in a soil.
NOTE A wide variety of both dry and wet combustion methods are at present in use for the determination of the organic matter content of soil. This method, originally due to Walkley and Black[1] and since revised by Walkley[2], has been widely employed and has been found to give reproducible results that are accurate for day-to-day engineering purposes.
