1、Designation:D453115Standard Test Methods forBulk and Dry Density of Peat and Peat Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4531;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number i

2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the bulkand dry density of both peat in its natural state and peatproducts(Note 1).These test method

3、s consist of defining avolume of peat and determining the mass of that specificvolume.The difference in the respective methods is in theprocedures employed to determine the peat volume.NOTE1Test Method D2978 is used for specifying the volumerepresented by a quantity of loose processed peat or the vo
