This book was released on 1991 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years radioisotopes have been increasingly used for determining site values of the density and the water content of soils. Since field measurements obtained by neutron moisture gauges are relative, these instruments must be calibrated. Calibration is usually carried out in the laboratory by plotting neutron counting rates versus known water content values of several soil media, homogeneous as well as heterogeneous.
