ASTM D2216 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water Content of Soil and Rock by Mass

The laboratory determination of the water (moisture) content by mass of soil, rock, and other materials when the mass reduction by drying is caused by loss of water is covered by ASTM D2216. In geotechnical engineering, the term "solid material" usually refers to naturally existing mineral particles found in soil and rock that are not readily soluble in water. Consequently, careful handling or a precise determination of water content may be necessary for products such as cement, etc. that contain extraneous stuff in their water content.

    Introduction to ASTM D2216

    ASTM D2216: One of the most crucial index characteristics for many materials is the water content, which is utilized to build a relationship between the index qualities and the behavior of the soil. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out D2216 tests for our clients. The phase relationships of air, water, and solids in a specific volume of material are expressed using the water content of that medium.

    D2216 Standard Test Method

    Drying a specimen to a constant massA test specimen is dried to a consistent mass in an oven set to 110 6.5°C. Water is the mass that is lost as a result of drying. 
    Measuring the water contentThe mass of the dry specimen and the mass of the water are used to compute the water content.

    ASTM D2216 Test Specimens

    Specimen DetailThe laboratory determination of the water (moisture) content by mass of soil, rock, and other materials is covered by D2216
    Specimen SizeSpecimen should be 10-1000 g, based on the largest possible particle size

    D2216 Standard Test Result

    To sum up, ASTM D2216 is an essential standard that offers instructions for figuring out the distribution of particle sizes in soils in lab settings. This standard, widely used in fields like environmental science, agriculture, and geotechnical engineering, guarantees precise assessment of soil qualities and trustworthy outcomes. D2216 promotes sustainable practices and informed decision-making across various businesses by enabling accurate evaluations, which ultimately helps with environmental stewardship and responsible soil management.
