Calculation method
Calculation method
Dry soil mass (g)
Water content = mass of water / oven-dry solids; subtract container mass from dry sample.
Water mass (g)
Water content = mass of water / oven-dry solids; subtract container mass from dry sample.
Gravimetric water content (%)
Water content = mass of water / oven-dry solids; subtract container mass from dry sample.
Symbols and units
- a
- Wet sample plus container mass (g)
- b
- Dry sample plus container mass (g)
- c
- Container mass (g)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Water content = mass of water / oven-dry solids; subtract container mass from dry sample. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
