Earthworks - Chemical tests - Part 5: Determination of water-soluble salts content in soils by gravimetric method

The purpose of this document is to describe a gravimetric method for the determination of the water-soluble salt content (WSS) in soils. These salts typically comprise inorganic ions such as sulphates, chlorides, nitrites, nitrates, bicarbonates, sodium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, and strontium. The method involves initial dissolution in demineralised water and subsequent determination of the mass of the residue obtained by evaporation. The results obtained in accordance with this document do not represent the total salt content of the soil, but exclusively the fraction soluble in water under the specific conditions defined in this document. These results are not comparable with those obtained by TS 17685 4:2026, relative to the determination of water-soluble sulphate content in soils.

Frequently Asked Questions about ONR CEN/TS 17685-5

When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.

Find out more about the benefits of multi-user licences

Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
