Soil quality - Measurement of the stability of soil aggregates subjected to the action of water (ISO 10930:2012)

This International Standard specifies the treatments for the measurement of the stability of soil aggregates. It can be applied to a wide range of materials originating mainly from the tilled horizons of cultivated soils. It can, however, also apply to any soil profile horizon, whether it is cultivated or not. Aggregates ranging from 3 mm to 5 mm are measured. However, the presence of gravel in the 2 mm to 5 mm fraction can distort the results. If the percentage of gravel is between 10 % and 40 %, the > 2 mm fraction of the gravel obtained from the tests should be washed and a mean weighted diameter (MWD, see 6.1) calculated with and without gravel. If the percentage of gravel is > 40 %, the structural stability tests are not significant. The method does not apply to unstructured materials, as they are not sufficiently cohesive to form millimetric aggregates.

Bodenbeschaffenheit - Messung der Stabilität von Bodenaggregaten gegen Wasserbewegung (ISO 10930:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die Vorbehandlungen zur Messung der Gefügestabilität von Bodenaggregaten fest. Sie kann auf ein breites Spektrum von Materialien angewendet werden, die im Wesentlichen aus dem bearbeiteten Horizont von Kulturböden stammen. Sie kann darüber hinaus auf jeden Bodenhorizont angewendet werden, unabhängig davon, ob er bearbeitet wird oder nicht. Durch die Messung werden Aggregate von 3 mm bis 5 mm erfasst.
Die Anwesenheit von Kies der Fraktion 2 mm bis 5 mm kann die Ergebnisse verfälschen. Beträgt der Anteil an Kies zwischen 10 % und 40 %, sollte die Kiesfraktion > 2 mm gewaschen werden und ein mittlerer gewichteter Durchmesser (MWD, siehe 6.1), jeweils mit und ohne Kiesanteil, berechnet werden. Beträgt der Kiesanteil mehr als 40 %, sind die Gefügestabilitätstests nicht signifikant. Das Verfahren kann nicht für unstrukturierte Materialien angewendet werden, da sie nicht ausreichend bindig sind, um millimetergroße Aggregate zu bilden.

Qualité du sol - Mesure de la stabilité d'agrégats de sols soumis à l'action de l'eau (ISO 10930:2012)

La présente Norme internationale spécifie les traitements permettant le mesurage de la stabilité d'agrégats
du sol. Elle peut être appliquée à une large gamme de matériaux issus essentiellement des horizons travaillés
des sols cultivés. Elle peut cependant s'appliquer également à n'importe quel horizon du profil de sol, qu'il soit
cultivé ou non. La mesure porte sur des agrégats de 3 mm à 5 mm.
Toutefois, la présence de gravier dans la fraction de 2 mm à 5 mm peut fausser les résultats. Si le pourcentage
de gravier est compris entre 10 % et 40 %, il convient de laver la fraction de gravier supérieur à 2 mm obtenue
à partir des essais et de calculer un diamètre moyen pondéré (MWD, voir 6.1) avec et sans gravier. Si le
pourcentage de gravier est supérieur à 40 %, la stabilité structurale n'est pas significative. La méthode ne
s'applique pas aux matériaux non structurés, ceux-ci ne présentant pas de cohésion suffisante pour former
des agrégats millimétriques.

Kakovost tal - Merjenje obstojnosti talnih agregatov v vodi (ISO 10930:2012)

Ta mednarodni standard določa postopek za merjenje obstojnosti talnih agregatov. Uporablja se lahko za raznolike materiale, ki izvirajo predvsem iz zrahljane plasti obdelanih tal. Vendar se lahko uporablja za katero koli obdelano ali neobdelano plast profila tal. Merijo se agregati v velikosti od 3 mm do 5 mm. Vendar lahko prisotnost gramoza v deležu 2 mm do 5 mm popači rezultate. Če odstotek gramoza znaša od 10 % do 40 %, je treba delež gramoza > 2 mm, pridobljenega s preskusi, izprati in izračunati povprečni ponderirani premer (MWD, glej točko 6.1) z gramozom in brez njega. Če znaša odstotek gramoza > 40 %, preskusi strukturne obstojnosti niso bistveni. Metoda se ne uporablja za nestrukturirane materiale, ker niso dovolj kohezivni, da bi tvorili milimetrske agregate.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 10930 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 3, Chemical

Introduction
The purpose of the method specified in this International Standard is to provide a realistic analysis of the
structural stability of soil aggregates when subjected to the action of weather, cultivation, etc. and to enable the
soils to be classified on the basis of the stability of their aggregates.
[1]
The methodology is, to a great extent, based on Hénin and Combeau’s structural stability test (1958) . However,
[2] [3] [4]
it also includes certain aspects of other methods [Yoder (1936) , Emerson (1954) , Grieve (1980) , Kemper
[5] [6] [7]
and Rosenau (1986) , Matkin and Smart (1987) ], as well as the results from Le Bissonnais (1988) , Le
[8] [9] [10]
Bissonnais et al. (1989) , Le Bissonnais and Le Souder (1995) , and Le Bissonnais (1996) .
The aim of the set of three treatments specified in this International Standard is to provide a means of predicting
the behaviour of soil, with respect to its structural stability, for different conditions of soil wetting by water, which
simulate different climatic, hydraulic and mechanical conditions that might be encountered in the field. It is
therefore recommended that the three treatments be used in order to provide scientific information on the
different mechanisms which can destroy soil aggregates. However, the use of the fast wetting test only, which
is less time-consuming, can prove sufficient for a simple sample comparison.
The treatments were chosen for the following purposes:
— to distinguish between the various mechanisms;
— to distinguish between the disaggregation phase and the measurement of the result of the disaggregation;
— to express the results in a form that can be easily interpreted by comparison with physical soil behaviour in situ.
Following the method proposed in Reference [1], this method recommends the use of ethyl alcohol to ensure
that disaggregation is well controlled on the one hand and, on the other hand, to limit the reaggregation of the
particles on drying.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10930:2012(E)
Soil quality — Measurement of the stability of soil aggregates
subjected to the action of water
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the treatments for the measurement of the stability of soil aggregates. It
can be applied to a wide range of materials originating mainly from the tilled horizons of cultivated soils. It can,
however, also apply to any soil profile horizon, whether it is cultivated or not. Aggregates ranging from 3 mm
to 5 mm are measured.
However, the presence of gravel in the 2 mm to 5 mm fraction can distort the results. If the percentage of gravel
is between 10 % and 40 %, the > 2 mm fraction of the gravel obtained from the tests should be washed and
a mean weighted diameter (MWD, see 6.1) calculated with and without gravel. If the percentage of gravel is
> 40 %, the structural stability tests are not significant. The method does not apply to unstructured materials,
as they are not sufficiently cohesive to form millimetric aggregates.
