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 3.
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 International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11461 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11461:2001(E)
Soil quality — Determination of soil water content as a volume
fraction using coring sleeves — Gravimetric method
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the gravimetric determination of soil water content as a volume
fraction.
The method is applicable to all types of non-swelling or non-shrinking soils where coring sleeves can be used for
sampling. It is not applicable to soils where stones, tough roots or other factors prevent collection of soil cores. It is
used as a reference method (e.g. the calibration of indirect methods for determination of water content).
NOTE The determination of water content as a mass fraction is described in ISO 11465.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
water content volume fraction

�
volume of water evaporating from the soil when dried to constant mass at 105 C, divided by the original bulk volume
of the soil
NOTE The water content volume fraction is sometimes also referred to a
