[Current]Methods of testing soils for engineering purposes, Method 5.8.9: Soil compaction and density tests — Nuclear surface moisture-density gauges — Water content of a standard moisture block using comparison against primary blocks
This Standard sets out the method for the determination of the assigned water content, by comparison against a set of primary moisture blocks of a standard moisture block, to be used for the calibration of the moisture mode of nuclear surface moisture-density gauges in accordance with AS 1289.5.8.4. The block shall consist of an array of alternate vertical aluminium or magnesium and polyethylene plates. The assignment of water content is made using comparison against a set of primary moisture blocks. Guidance on the number of blocks required for a set of standard moisture blocks is given in AS 1289.5.8.4.
