Imported Data

Although there is a Q010 worksheet in QESTLab, it is not possible to import the correction coefficients - these must be entered manually

Data Entry

QTMR subsidiary moisture content methods must be corrected, requiring Test Methods Q010 and Q102A to be used. The slope and y intercept of the linear relationship obtained from Test Method Q010 are free entered on the Q102D worksheet.

Calculated Results

QTMR subsidiary moisture content methods must be corrected using the relationship established in Test Method Q010. Otherwise, the calculations in Test Method Q102D conform to the behavior described in QESTLab Moisture Content Tests

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

Reporting

The results from this worksheet can be reported on the Aggregate Soil Test Report and Multiple Aggregate Soil Test Report as described in QESTLab Moisture Content Tests
