Observed retained water per reading (mL)
(Mass−dry baseline)/water density.
Interval water-mass dryback
[start,end,mL loss,mL/hour,loss fraction of preceding water]; gains remain signed.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Timed container weights, dry baseline. Returns Water-content change between readings. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Dry container-plus-substrate baseline (g): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Water density (g/mL): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
