Abstract
The determination of the freezing points of water in colloidal systems from dielectric constant measurements is shown to be unsatisfactory when supercooling occurs. A method is described for minimizing supercooling, which makes possible accurate determinations of the freezing point. Data showing the freezing points obtained for a Barnes soil at various moisture contents are included.
