A H M 531 Determination of Moisture content By: Mu'men Al-Otoom
Sample Identification:
We need in this experimen amount of wet soil (one
sample).
Equipment:
Container
( Moisture can).
These are available in various size.
Oven with temperature control.( 105°-110°).
This temperature (we should avoid higher temperature)
to save the organic material from burning.
Procedure:
Determine the weight of the empty moisture can plus
it’s cap (W1), and also record the can number.

A H M 531 Determination of Moisture content By: Mu'men Al-Otoom
Remove the cap from the top of the can and place it
on the bottom (of the can).
~W(container) = Wc = 32.51 g
~W(container+soil) = Wc s =128.21 g
~W(container+dry soil) = Wc sd = 119.62 g
~W(water) = Ww =Wc s – Wc sd = 128.21 – 119.62 = 8.59 g.
~W(soil)= Ws = Wc s – Wc = 95.7 g .

Errors
:
We can see error in weight.
importment:
Now We can see the important of water content in
many things : building ,foundation & on the statment to
use it in building…
