This European Standard describes an instrumental method for the routine determination of the physical properties, dry bulk density, water volume, air volume, shrinkage value and total pore space of soil improvers or growing media.

This European Standard is not suitable for those materials which are very coarse, which do not make proper capillary contact or those which are pre-formed and non-particulate and have closed porosity. It is applicable to materials with particles less-than or equal to 25 mm and/or flexible fibres less-than or euaqual to 80 mm.

This method is not applicable to liming materials and preformed materials such as mineral wool slabs and foam slabs.
