This guide details the setup of a laboratory test to measure moisture migration in sample soil or backfill material, specifically chosen or designed for use around an underground cable system. Moisture migration is necessary for assessing soil thermal stability. The primary focus is on recommending appropriate laboratory test equipment, considering the type of soil or backfill under examination. Interpretation of data and findings in relation to cable systems and their ratings falls outside the scope of this guide.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
