Introduction

T 288-23

Standard Method of Test for Determining Minimum Laboratory Soil Resistivity

This method covers the laboratory procedure for determining the minimum resistivity of soil samples. The principal use of this test method is to determine a soil’s corrosivity and thereby identify the conditions under which the corrosion of metals in soil may be sharply accentuated. This method applies to the dry preparation of soil and soil-aggregate samples, as received from the field, for soil resistivity determination. The values stated in SI units are regarded as the standard. The quality of the results produced by this standard depends on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used.
