DD Form 1205. Soil Moisture-Content Determination

DD Form 1205 - Soil Moisture-Content Determination is used to record the moisture content of soil samples. This information is crucial for various engineering and construction purposes.

The form consists of sections where users can record details about the soil sample, the weight of the wet soil, the weight of the container, and the weight of the dry soil. It also provides a space for calculating and recording the moisture content percentage.

Important fields in this form include the weights of wet and dry soil, container weight, and moisture content percentage. Accurate measurements are essential to ensure reliable soil moisture data.

Application Example: Engineers and geologists can use DD Form 1205 to determine soil moisture content for construction projects, land use planning, and environmental assessments.

Related Form: DD Form 1208 is related, as it is used for specific gravity tests on soils.

Alternative Form: ASTM D2216 is a standard test method used for laboratory determination of water (moisture) content of soil and rock.
