electrical resistivity in gypseous soil

[civilQ]

hello
can you please provide me with any useful information regarding electrical resistivity test in gypseous soil and resistivity meter price ?

Try Google.

not the perfect place to ask for this question , you should consult a geophysicien

do you mean a weinner four pin method? There is a good British Standard that outlines electrical resistivity testing methods. i don;t have the name of it at hand i'm afraid. From the results (in ohm metres), you can determine the corrosivity potential of the soils.

Sorry can't help in the price as it will be specific to your country, region, city, etc.

due to the water content in a gypsiferous soil, you should get a slightly lower resistivity than if it were completely dried out. if you are looking for thermal resistivity check the IEEE Std 442, resistivity as part of a corrosion study check ASTM D 6431 Standard Guide for Using the Direct Current Resistivity Method for Subsurface Investigation Standard Guide for Using the Direct Current Resistivity Method for Subsurface Investigation.
