This test method describes the procedure for determining the in-place density and moisture of
earthwork through the use of a nuclear gauge. The density of the material shall be determined by
direct transmission and the moisture content shall be determined by backscatter. This method may
be used in conjunction with either the Standard or Modified Proctor Density Test for determining
the percent of Maximum Density.
The details included in this test method are for use with the Standard Proctor Test.
