Calculated Results

To calculate a moisture content the following masses are required:

  • Tray 

  • Tray and Wet Sample

  • Tray and Dry Sample. Multiple Tray and Dry Sample masses may be required to satisfy the test method requirements for constant dry mass.

Kiosk Mode

This test screen supports kiosk mode data entry and balance interfacing for all masses.

Additionally, the specimen grid supports moisture tin association for navigation to the test screen by scanning a moisture tin barcode for capturing the dry masses.

Bulk Entry

All data entry for moisture content tests can occur on the bulk entry screen and will map directly to the full worksheet.

Reporting

The results from this worksheet can be reported on the following test reports.
