    The document outlines the steps to calculate moisture content from soil samples: 1) measure the mass of the empty container, wet soil + container, and dry soil + container; 2) determine the mass of water by subtracting the dry mass from the wet mass; 3) find the mass of solids by subtracting the container mass from the dry mass; 4) calculate moisture content as a percentage by dividing the water mass by the solids mass. A sample report format is also provided to document the measurements and calculations for multiple borehole samples.

    MOISTURE CONTENT CALCULATION

    1) Mess of container (g)


    2) Mess of container + wet soil
    3) Mess of container + dry soil
    4) Mess of water = ( mess of container + wet soil) – ( mess container + dry soil)
    = (2) - (3)
    5) Mess of solid = (3) - ( 1)
    6) Moisture content (%) = (4)/ (5)
    = mess of water / mess of solid
