Ta b l e 5 . 5 Results obtained for measurements on sand samples mixed with deionized water,
at ten different moisture levels. The estimated values for σ 0 , C S ; σ 0 , TLM ;andσ 0 , ICM and for
the corresponding standard uncertainties are compared

Finally, it must be pointed out that the K p , C S was evaluated through nine pre-
liminary measurements on the electrolyte solutions, and it was found that u Kp , C S
increases dramatically when less than nine points were considered for the linear re-
gression. Conversely, only two preliminary measurements were enough to obtain an
accurate estimation of the probe constant through the ICM method. This is one of
the major advantages of the described methods.
