Abstract: From point of view geotechnical parameters evaluation (classifications, interpretations) it is important to determine organic matter content correctly. Most frequently approach is to use for that purpose direct method – loss on ignition at different temperatures. Key factors which influence choosing that approach are: simplicity of this method and non-complex equipment. Thereby, much less used are indirect methods – volumetric. One of indirect methods is common known Tiurin’s method. Organic matter content depends not only from applied method. In case of direct method – loss on ignition at different temperatures, temperature which is applied in examination has also influence on organic matter content. The following article presents results of examinations which gave opportunity to determine to what extent chosen method influences value of organic matter content. The authors were investigated what infl uence has applied temperature in the loss of ignition method. For that purpose as a reference Tiurin’s method was chosen, which generally outputs values lower than the method loss on ignition at different temperatures.
