Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 3: Determination of particle density (ISO 17892-3:2015, Corrected version 2015-12-15)

ISO 17892-3:2015 specifies methods for the determination of the particle density of soils.
ISO 17892-3:2015 is applicable to the laboratory determination of the particle density of soil within the scope of geotechnical investigations, and describes two methods, a pycnometer method by fluid displacement and a pycnometer method by gas displacement.
The fluid pycnometer method described in this part of ISO 17892 applies to soil types with particle sizes under about 4 mm, or soils crushed to meet this requirement. Larger pycnometers are used for coarser materials. The particle size of soils suitable for testing in the gas pycnometer is limited by the dimensions of the specimen container of the particular gas pycnometer being used.
NOTE 1       ISO 17892-3:2015 fulfils the requirements of the determination of particle density of soils for geotechnical investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
NOTE 2       The presence of dissolved salts in the pore water can affect the results of these tests. Techniques for compensating for dissolved salts are available but are beyond the scope of this standard.

Geotechnische Erkundung und Untersuchung - Laborversuche an Bodenproben - Teil 3: Bestimmung der Korndichte (ISO 17892-3:2015, korrigierte Fassung 2015-12-15)

Dieser Teil von ISO 17892 legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Korndichte von Böden fest.
Dieser Teil von ISO 17892 ist im Rahmen geotechnischer Untersuchungen auf die labortechnische Bestimmung der Korndichte von Boden anwendbar und beschreibt zwei Verfahren: ein Pyknometer-Verfahren mittels Flüssigkeitsverdrängung und ein Pyknometer-Verfahren mittels Gasverdrängung.
Das in diesem Teil von ISO 17892 beschriebene Kapillarpyknometer-Verfahren ist bei Bodenarten anwendbar, deren Korndurchmesser kleiner ist als 4 mm, oder deren Körner auf 4 mm zerkleinert wurden, um den Anforderungen zu entsprechen. Bei gröberen Materialien werden größere Pyknometer eingesetzt.
Die für die Prüfung im Gaspyknometer geeignete Korngröße von Böden wird durch die Maße des Probenbehälters des verwendeten Gaspyknometers begrenzt.
ANMERKUNG 1   Dieser Teil von ISO 17892 erfüllt die Anforderungen an die Bestimmung der Korndichte von Böden bei der geotechnischen Erkundung und Untersuchung nach EN 1997 1 und EN 1997 2.
ANMERKUNG 2   Das Vorhandensein von gelösten Salzen im Porenwasser kann die Ergebnisse dieser Versuche beeinflussen. Es existieren Verfahren zur Kompensation von gelösten Salzen, die aber über den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm hinausgehen.

Reconnaissance et essais géotechniques - Essais de laboratoire sur les sols - Partie 3: Détermination de la masse volumique des particules solides (ISO 17892-3:2015)

Cette partie de l'ISO 17892 spécifie des méthodes de détermination de la masse volumique des grains des sols.
La présente partie de l'ISO 17892 s'applique à la détermination en laboratoire de la masse volumique des grains dans le cadre d'investigations géotechniques, et décrit deux méthodes : une méthode avec un pycnomètre à déplacement de liquide et une méthode avec un pycnomètre à déplacement de gaz.
La méthode du pycnomètre à déplacement de liquide décrite dans la présente partie de l'ISO 17892 s'applique aux sols dont la dimension des particules est inférieure à environ 4 mm, ou aux sols broyés pour répondre à cette exigence. Des pycnomètres de plus grande taille sont utilisés pour les matériaux plus grossiers. La taille des particules de sols qui convient pour les essais réalisés dans le pycnomètre à gaz est limitée par les dimensions du récipient du pycnomètre à gaz en question.
NOTE 1    La présente partie de l'ISO 17892 satisfait aux exigences de détermination de la masse volumique des particules de sols à des fins de reconnaissance et d'essais géotechniques, conformément aux normes EN 1997-1 et EN 1997-2.
NOTE 2    La présence de sels dissous dans l'eau interstitielle peut affecter les résultats de ces essais. Des techniques de compensation des sels dissous existent, mais elles n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme.

Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje - Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin - 3. del: Ugotavljanje gostote zrn (ISO 17892-3:2015)

Ta dokument opisuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje gostote zrn z metodo piknometra.
Metoda piknometra temelji na ugotavljanju volumna znane mase zemljine z metodo izpodrivanja tekočin. Gostota trdnih delcev se izračuna iz mase zemljine in volumna. Metoda piknometra velja za vse vrste zemljin z velikostjo zrn manj kot 4 mm.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
