Moisture Content
Oven-dry & rapid moisture methods per ASTM D2216
Test Level
Standard lab procedure
💧
STEP 1/2
Moisture Content Test
Determine water content by oven-dry method (105-110°C for 24 hrs)
📋 Moisture Content Results
📐 Formula
w = (W₁ - W₂) / W₂ × 100%
✅ Status
Within normal range for most soils
💧
Enter Sample Weights
Input wet and dry sample weights to calculate moisture content per ASTM D2216.
📝 ASTM D2218 Method
- Standard oven: 105-110°C for 24 hours to constant weight
- Rapid methods (IR, microwave) require correlation to oven method
- Moisture content = (Wet weight - Dry weight) / Dry weight × 100%
- Typical range: 5-40% for most soils, up to 100%+ for organic/clay soils
