Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 3: Determination of particle density - Pycnometer method (ISO/TS 17892-3:2004)

This document describes a test method for determining the particle density by the pycnometer method within the scope of the geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997 1 and prEN 1997 2.
The pycnometer method is based on the determination of the volume of a known mass of soil by the fluid displacement method. The density of solid particles is calculated from the mass of the soil and the volume. The pycnometer method applies to soil types with particle sizes under 4 mm.

L'ISO 17892-3:2004 décrit une méthode d'essai pour la détermination de la masse volumique des particules par la méthode du pycnomètre dans le domaine d'application des reconnaissances géotechniques conformément aux prEN 1997-1 et prEN 1997-2.
La méthode du pycnomètre est basée sur la détermination du volume d'une masse de sol connue par la méthode par déplacement d'un fluide. La masse volumique des particules solides est calculée à partir de la masse du sol et du volume. La méthode du pycnomètre s'applique aux sols dont la dimension des particules est inférieure à 4 mm.

Ta dokument opisuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje gostote zrn z metodo s piknometrom v okviru geotehničnih preiskav v skladu s prEN 1997-1 in prEN 1997-2. Metoda s piknometrom temelji na ugotavljanju volumna znane mase zemljine z metodo tekočinskega izpodrivanja. Gostota trdnih delcev se izračuna iz mase in volumna zemljine. Metoda s piknometrom se uporablja za vrste zemljin z velikostjo delcev pod 4 mm.

1 Scope
This document describes a test method for determining the particle density by the pycnometer method within the
scope of the geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997-1 and prEN 1997-2.
The pycnometer method is based on the determination of the volume of a known mass of soil by the fluid
displacement method. The density of solid particles is calculated from the mass of the soil and the volume. The
pycnometer method applies to soil types with particle sizes under 4 mm.

only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
density of solid particles
ρ
s
mass of the particles divided by their volume.
NOTE In porous materials which contain enclosed pores, the particles have an apparent density. This is a consequence of
the enclosed, air-filled, pores.
4 Equipment
4.1 Balance
A balance of at least 0,001 g accuracy, and a measuring range of 200 g.
4.2 Pycnometer
A pycnometer with a volume of at least 50 ml, which is provided with a glass stopper which has been ground to fit
precisely, and a capillary rising tube (see Figure 1).
