Soils - Determination of In-Place Density of Soil Using an Elastic Membrane
Scope:
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This standard specifies the test method used to determine the in-place density of soil using a plastic rubber elastic membrane. However, this test cannot be used on very soft soil that deforms under slight pressure or when the volume of the hole cannot be kept constant. Using a 100 mm diameter apparatus, the test is limited to soils containing particles no greater than 5 mm in diameter.
