“…Pore‐size distribution was measured by using ceramic pressure plates (Richards 1947, 1948). The air porosity at 10 kPa matric suction (pF2) was determined with an air pycnometer (Torstensson & Eriksson 1936), and the total porosity was determined as the sum of air porosity and volumetric water content at 10 kPa matric suction. Fifteen, 22 and 30% volumetric soil moisture content represents soil water potentials of approximately −0·33, −0·04 and −0·005 MPa, respectively (Fig.…”

“…The resistance of the soil to the air causes a back pressure, which is then read off the pressure gauge, and recorded. Air permeameters have been discussed by Torstensson and Erickson (1936) …”

“…Many gas pycnometers reported in the literature loose accuracy from improper selection of construction materials; either the material is thermally too conductive, or too flexible (Torstensson and Eriksson, 1936;Stevens, 1938;Kummer and Cooper, 1945;Page, 1947;Russell, 1949). Flexible materials tend to yield error due to deformation of the system, which is assumed to have a constant volume.…”
