MOISTURE RELATION & TESTING:
Moisture regain: Moisture regain is defined as the weight of water in a material
expressed as percentage of the oven dry wet of the material.
OR,
The ratio of water in a material to the oven dry wet of the material is called
moisture regain (M.R.).
Let, oven dry wet of material = D
Weight of water in that material = W
Regain% = R
So, R=D
W×100%
Moisture Content:Moisture content is defined as the weight of water in a material
expressed as percentage of total weight of the material.
OR,
The ratio of water in a material to the total weight of the material is called
moisture content.
Let,
Oven dry wet of material = D
Weight of water in that material = W
Moisture content = C
So, moisture content, M.C. =
W
DW+
×100%
Relation between M.R. & M.C.:
The ratio of water in a material to the oven dry wet of the material is called
moisture regain (M.R.).
The ratio of water in a material to the total weight of the material is called
moisture content.
From definition, M.R.=D

Correct Invoice Weight: The weight obtained after adding standard moisture regain
to the oven dry weight is called correct invoice weight (CIW). It is also called
conditioned weight.
So, CIW = Oven Dry Weight + Standard Moisture Regain
Let,
C = the oven dry weight of a material
W= the total weight of a material
d = the oven dry weight of a sample
S = original weight of the sample
∴C=S
d
×W
And CIW = C× (100
100R
+
),
where R is the official allowance for moisture.
This CIW value is for dried out without cleaning. But for dried out after cleaning,
CIW = C× (

where, R+A+B= total allowance for moisture, natural grease, wax, fatty matter,
oil etc.
