This Standard sets out the method for the construction of and assignment of water content using the hydrogen content of the components, to a standard moisture block for use in the calibration of nuclear surface moisture-density gauges in accordance with AS 1289.5.8.4. The block shall consist of an intimate mix of sand and polystyrene at a specific proportion. Guidance on the number of blocks required for a set of standard moisture blocks and the proportioning of the sand and polystyrene mixes is given in AS 1289.5.8.4.

This Standard sets out the method for the construction of and assignment of water content using the hydrogen content of the components, to a standard moisture block for use in the calibration of nuclear surface moisture-density gauges in accordance with AS 1289.5.8.4. The block shall consist of an intimate mix of sand and polystyrene at a specific proportion. Guidance on the number of blocks required for a set of standard moisture blocks and the proportioning of the sand and polystyrene mixes is given in AS 1289.5.8.4.NOTE: A standard moisture block constructed in accordance with this Standard may be used as-(a) a standard moisture block for use in the calibration of nuclear surface moisture-density gauges in accordance with AS 1289.5.8.4, if the water content has been assigned in accordance with this Standard;(b) a primary standard moisture block for use in AS 1289.5.8.9 if the water content has been assigned in accordance with this Standard; or as(c) a standard moisture block for which the moisture content may be assigned by comparison against primary standard moisture blocks in accordance with AS 1289.5.8.9.
