| – Dry Weight Calculation | Dry Weight = 100 lbs × (1 – 20 / 100) | 80 lbs |
Explanation of Parameters
- Wet Weight: This is the total weight of the material, including water. It can be influenced by factors like environmental conditions and the storage method of the material.
- Moisture Content: This parameter indicates the amount of water present in the material expressed as a percentage of the total weight. For instance, if a material has a moisture content of 20%, it means 20% of its weight is due to water.
- Dry Weight: This is the weight of the material after all moisture has been removed. It is crucial for understanding the material’s true weight for shipping, pricing, and various applications.
