Popis: | THE introduction of nuclear density gauges has brought with it the potential for fast, easy and accurate soil density measurements. However, before these gauges can be used in the field, their performance must be evaluated. Performance tests were conducted on a Campbell Pacific MC-2 gauge to determine its adequacy for measuring soil wet density. Resolution and factors affecting the operation of the gauge were analyzed. Soil density measured with the gauge correlated well with average box densities in laboratory tests. |
