Worksheet Layout
QESTLab worksheets for this test type are laid out in the following manner. Note that:
- Individual elements may be named slightly differently for the purposes of familiarity in different regions but the main elements remain largely the same.
- The units shown on the test will differ based on the units configuration of the QESTLab system in use and potentially document level options.
Equipment
The following equipment can be selected on the worksheet:
Equipment label | Qest ID | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Balance | 30005 | |
| Oven | 30004 | |
| Moisture Tin | 30125 | Applicable only when using Kiosk Mode |
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.
