Calculate material moisture on both a wet (WB) and a dry (DB) basis from two weights — the wet and the dried sample.
Enter both weights. WB = (wet − dry) / wet · 100. DB = (wet − dry) / dry · 100.
Moisture on a wet basis (WB) expresses the share of water in the total, i.e. wet weight of the sample. Moisture on a dry basis (DB) expresses the share of water relative to the weight of the dried material, which is why it is numerically higher.
