DIN EN ISO 11508:2016-08

This International Standard describes two methods for the determination of particle density of soils calculated from the mass and the volume of soil particles. The first method is applicable to fine soil (under 2 mm diameter) and the second method is applicable to both porous and nonporous gravel and stones (larger than 2 mm diameter). The particle density may be used for the calculation of the proportion of solids and of the porosity of soil layers in combination with the procedure given in ISO 11272.
