Worksheet Layout

Equipment

The following equipment can be selected on the worksheet:

Equipment label	Qest ID	Notes
Balance	30005
Hotplate	30010
Moisture Tin	30125	Applicable only when using Kiosk Mode

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

Reported Values

Field	Database Field Name	Unit	Precision	Condition
Estimated Moisture Content	AmendedMoisture	%	As per Q102D Table 2	Always
Moisture Content	MoistureContent	%	As per Q102D Table 2	Only if coefficients A and B from Q010 have been entered
