How to Calculate and Solve for Moisture Content | Refractories
Last Updated on July 29, 2022
The moisture content is illustrated by the image below.
To compute for moisture content, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Weight of the Sample before Drying (G) and Weight of the Sample after Drying (G1).
The formula for calculating moisture content:
w = 100((G – G1)/G)
Where:
w = Moisture Content
G = Weight of the Sample before Drying
G1 = Weight of the Sample after Drying
Let’s solve an example;
Find the moisture content when the weight of the sample before drying is 40 and the weight of the sample after drying is 10.
This implies that;
G = Weight of the Sample before Drying = 40
G1 = Weight of the Sample after Drying = 10
w = 100((G – G1)/G)
w = 100((40 – 10)/40)
w = 100(30/40)
w = 100(0.75)
w = 75
Therefore, the moisture content is 75%.
