1MDD compaction test
Not saved| Trial | Moisture content (%) | Mould + wet soil (g) | Wet soil mass (g) | Wet density (g/cm³) | Dry density (g/cm³) |
|---|
Enter moisture manually or copy it from the separate module below.
2Oven-dry moisture test
Up to 4 containers| Container | Empty container (g) | Container + wet soil (g) | Container + dry soil (g) | Water mass (g) | Dry soil mass (g) | Moisture content (%) | Copy to MDD |
|---|
Moisture % = water lost in oven ÷ dry soil mass × 100.
