ISO 11272 Determination of Bulk Density in Sediment SamplesISO 11272 Determination of Bulk Density in Sediment Samples Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
The determination of bulk density in sediment samples is a critical aspect of various industries, including geotechnical engineering, environmental science, and mining. This test is governed by several international and national standards, which ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results.
ISO 11272:2009
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published ISO 11272:2009, Determination of bulk density of sediment in a water environment - Laboratory method. This standard outlines the procedures for determining the bulk density of sediment samples in a laboratory setting. The test involves measuring the volume and mass of a sample, then calculating its bulk density.
ASTM D4918-17
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) published ASTM D4918-17, Standard Test Method for Determination of Bulk Density of Sediment. This standard is similar to ISO 11272:2009 but provides additional requirements and procedures for conducting the test.
EN ISO 11272:2013
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published EN ISO 11272:2013, Determination of bulk density of sediment in a water environment - Laboratory method. This standard is equivalent to ISO 11272:2009 and provides identical procedures for determining the bulk density of sediment samples.
TSE 2340
The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) published TSE 2340, Sediment sampling - Determination of bulk density in a water environment - Laboratory method. This standard is based on ISO 11272:2009 and provides similar procedures for conducting the test.
Standard Development Organizations
Several organizations contribute to the development and publication of standards related to sediment testing. These include:
These organizations ensure that standards are developed and maintained through a collaborative effort among experts from various industries.
Standard Evolution and Updates
