Historical Standard: ASTM F1647-02 Standard Test Methods for Organic Matter Content of Putting Green and Sports Turf Root Zone Mixes
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM F1647
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the percent organic matter of a putting green root zone mixture using a loss on ignition method or the Walkley Black method. These test methods are useful for quantifying the organic matter content of volume ratio mixed root zone mixes. Test Method D 2974 is recommended for peat and other organic soils.
1.2 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. For a specific precautionary statement, see 8.2.6.
