Overview

This standard describes the determination of soil texture by means of finger test according to the field test method. The determination of particle size fractions in the laboratory is performed according to DIN ISO 11277. The soil texture is uniquely defined by the three particle size fractions clay, silt and sand with their corresponding sub-fraction (see DIN 4220, limits table, soil-texture diagram).
