Description
Sulphate Content Testing
Sulphate content in soil is
the concentration of sulphate ions in a soil sample, crucial for assessing risks in construction and agriculture, as high levels can lead to disruptive swelling in soil. Content is typically measured in parts per million (ppm) and levels are categorized by risk: <3,000 ppm is low risk, 3,000-5,000 ppm is moderate risk, and >8,000 ppm is high to unacceptable risk, especially for lime stabilization projects. Key testing methods involve gravimetric analysis or using a
turbidimeter.
Why is Sulphate Content Important?
- Construction:
High sulphate content can cause problematic reactions with construction materials like lime or cement, forming ettringite, an expansive mineral that can damage foundations and roads.
