Extract

Two procedures are described for ascertaining the relationship between the freezing-point and moisture content of a soil. Since the soil sample is dried in the process of freezing, it is necessary to estimate how much water has been frozen out of the soil at the moment when the freezing temperature is recorded.

Procedure A embodies all the precautions which appear desirable when the greatest accuracy is required. Procedure B is simple and rapid and yet accurate enough for routine estimations.
