What is Water Content?
Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil, rock, ceramics, crops, or wood. Water content is used in a wide range of scientific and technical areas, and is expressed as a ratio, which can range from 0 to the value of the materials' porosity at saturation.
How to Calculate Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content?
Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content calculator uses Degree of Saturation = Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer/((Specific Gravity of Soil*Unit Weight of Water/Dry Unit Weight)-1) to calculate the Degree of Saturation, The Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content formula is defined as the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed compared with the maximum possible, usually expressed as a percentage. Degree of Saturation is denoted by S symbol.
How to calculate Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content, enter Water Content of Soil from Pycnometer (ws), Specific Gravity of Soil (Gs), Unit Weight of Water (γwater) & Dry Unit Weight (γdry) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Degree of Saturation given Dry Unit Weight and Water Content calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.18782 = 8.3/((2.65*9810/6120)-1).
