Abstract

[In Chapter 2, we described both the science that gives the soil properties to measure and the means by which the instruments make their measurements. In this chapter we will look at the application of this science to real instruments. New instruments come out from time to time, so it is best not to go into too fine detail, lest it be obsolete by the time you come to read about it. In all cases, each machine will have its own operating method which you will have to learn if you want to use it. Details of some of the instruments commonly used are given in Appendix A.]
