BS 7755-3.8 specifies a method for the determination of the total carbon content in soil after dry combustion. The organic carbon content is calculated from this content after correcting for carbonates present in the sample. If carbonates are removed beforehand, the organic carbon content is measured directly.
BS 7755-3.8 is applicable to all types of air-dried soil samples.
BS 7755-3.8 on soil quality is relevant to:
In elemental analysis, a sample of some material (such as soil, waste, minerals, or a chemical compound) is tested for its elemental and sometimes isotopic composition.
BS 7755-3.8 provides methods and procedures for determining the organic and total carbon content after dry combustion using elementary analysis.
BS 7755-3.8 specifies methods for measuring hydrocarbon, sampling, and monitoring, and preparing samples for the testing methods.
As a result of the BS 7755-3.8, you can extract the organic and total carbon from the soil, improving the fertility of the soil, making it more nourishing and promoting the growth of crops, and will be widely accepted by farmers worldwide.
