1.1 This test method outlines procedures for determining the water (moisture) content of soils by incrementally drying soil in a microwave oven.
1.2 This test method can be used as a substitute for Test Method D 2216
1.3 When questions of accuracy between this test method and Test Method D 2216
1.4 This test method is applicable for most soil types. For some soils, such as those containing significant amounts of halloysite, mica, montmorillonite, gypsum or other hydrated materials, highly organic soils, or soils in which the pore water contains dissolved solids (such as salt in the case of marine deposits), this test method may not yield reliable water content values.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this test method.
1.6 Refer to Practice D 6026
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See Section 7.
