1. Scope
1.1 This method covers the equipment and procedures for the field measurement of soil resistivity, both in situand for samples removed from the ground, for use in the control of corrosion of buried structures.
1.2 To convert cm (metric unit) to metre (SI unit), divide by 100.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
