Good day, Not sure sure why I didn't think of this sooner but I only just found this site for science forum questions and the like. There are forums of everything else that I have gone to; video games, coding, cooking, why not science to this degree.
Anyway, I digress. I am new to geological science and work for a small geotechnical firm. I am the only lab tech the place has and have basically only been doing soil compaction, and expansion test for 2 years. I had a mentor type figure that knew a lot and worked for the company as well but he recently passed. Now I am trying to learn some new tests without his aid and reading ASTM procedures can be somewhat, lets say difficult to understand fully.
I need to figure out how to properly run a thermal conductivity test for soils but ASTM D 5334 is kind of vague on a few steps. What section should I pose my question in as I am not entirely sure what science it would fall under given the categories I have seen for the site?
