Soil
Sample preparation
This practice covers the dry preparation of soil samples as received from the field for particle-size analysis and the determination of the soil constants. This practice can be used to prepare samples for particle-size and plasticity tests where it is desired to determine test values on air-dried samples, or where it is known that air drying does not have an effect on test results relative to samples prepared in accordance with Practice D2217 (which ASTM has discontinued).
