METHOD FOR DETERMINING RESISTANCE OF SOIL AGGREGATES TO WATER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01N33/24 

FIELD: agricultural industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to agricultural industry and soil science. Method consists in sampling the aggregates, their being put into the cells, and placing the cells with aggregates in water. At the cells' bottoms there made are holes the size of which is equal to that of a cell, and under the cell there arranged is a wire which divides the cell into two parts. At that the wire supports non-dissolved aggregates, and allows the aggregates dissolved in water leave the cell. Then soil aggregates are put into water where the process of their dissolution is watched. At that aggregates dissolved in water are determined by the cells' wires coming into view.

EFFECT: improving accuracy when determining resistance of soil aggregates to water, as well as improving capacity.
