What does s stand for as in 10s of meters ? *(Presumably metres)*
I thought distance apart made no difference in homogenous soil ?

.
However I got similar readings to you - around 10 ohms - with moist, garden
soil.
I found the most repeatable readings were when one current and one voltage
probe, 1m apart, were seperated by 10s of meters from the other pair - as is
used for archeological ground resistance surveys.

Subject: LF: How measuring Ground conductivity ?
To discuss
Measure ground conductivity.
I placed two stainless- steel rods ( 3mm dia ) whithin a distance of 7
Meters apart abt 80cm deep into soil
Powered with 50 Hz.
In series with the electrodes is a 10 Ohm resistor. In order to measuring
current, I measure the voltage drop across resistor.
Depending on weather I got 8 Ohm / m = 125mS
Is this measurement setup ( proceeding ) correct ?
Please correct me.
