moisture content testing

Moisture content testing measures how much water is present in a material, typically expressed as a percentage of the material's total weight. This test is important because the moisture level can affect the material's strength, stability, and usability. To perform the test, a sample is weighed, then dried in an oven to remove all moisture. After drying, it is weighed again. The difference in weights shows how much moisture was in the sample. Knowing the moisture content helps in quality control, ensuring products meet specifications and perform as expected.
