Scope:

This standard specifies laboratory test methods that shall be used to determine minimum and maximum densities of cohesionless soils first by pouring the loose material and then by densification of the material using vibration. These two densities are used to calculate the density index.

Project need:

The committee has decided to reaffirm the standard.
