CA 2381022

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the moisture content of bulk material, in particular potting soil, wherein the volume of a quantity of bulk material is determined, the weight of the quantity of bulk material is determined, the specific density is then determined from the volume and the weight, and finally the moisture content is determined by comparison with a table. The invention further relates to a method and apparatus for preparing bulk material, in particular potting soil, with a predetermined moisture content, wherein the volume of a quantity of bulk material is determined, the weight of the quantity of bulk material is determined, and water is then added to the quantity of bulk material until the weight associated with the desired moisture content is obtained.

Cette invention a trait à un procédé, ainsi qu'à l'appareil correspondant, permettant de déterminer la teneur hygrométrique d'un matériau en vrac, un terreau notamment. On détermine, dans le cadre de ce procédé, le volume d'une quantité donnée de matériau en vrac, son poids, puis sa masse volumique à partir du volume et du poids mesurés et l'on détermine, enfin, la teneur hygrométrique en comparant les données obtenues avec celles d'une table. L'invention concerne, en outre, un procédé de préparation de ce matériau en vrac, un terreau notamment, d'une teneur hygrométrique prédéterminée, ainsi que l'appareil correspondant. Dans le cadre de ce procédé, on détermine le volume ainsi que le poids du matériau en vrac et l'on ajoute une certaine quantité d'eau à ce matériau jusqu'à obtention d'un rapport poids/teneur hygrométrique souhaité.
