What instruments measure air moisture?
A hygrometer measures the moisture content of the air. There are several different types, all of which measure something else which indicates the moisture content.
What is the optimum moisture content in gravel road compaction?
You're looking for something between 8-11%, depending on sand and clay particle content. MDD of 2000-2170kg/m^3 and CBR anything from 20-100%.
How does wind direction affect moisture content?
Wind direction is the direction which the wind blows. If the wind direction is coming from an arid region, such as a desert, the air will be dry and moisture content will be low. If the wind direction is coming from an ocean, lake, or tropical area, the air will have a higher moisture content.
Would water drain away faster through clay soil or sand?
Water drains much faster through sandy soil. Soil with a heavy clay content holds moisture for a long while.
Air masses are identified on the basis of temperature and what?
moisture content
Maximum bulking in sand and in what moisture content?
The maximum bulking of sand is in 13% to 14% moisture content. It's likely to be 13.8% moisture content.
What is the typical moisture content of dry silica sand?
0.08%
Which is heavier sand or clay?
Clay is heavier than sand since its density and its moisture content cause it to be heavier.
What do you mean by Bulking of sand?
Bulking of sand means increase in it's volume due to presence of surface moisture . The volume increases with increase in moisture content . The volume may increase up to 20 to 40% when moisture content is 5 to 10 %.Due to moisture in each particle of sand, sand gets a coating of water due to surface tension which keeps the particles apart. This causes an increment in volume of sand known as Bulking.
How many tons does a cubic meter of wet sand weigh?
It will depend on (a) the bulk density of the dry sand and (b) the moisture content of the wet sand.

Why you are doing initial moisture content critical moisture content and equilibrium moisture content test?
if we know initial moisture content of the object we can identify how much drying energy required for dry the same moist material. if it is a food material we have to reduce the moisture content upto certain level, otherwise it may be destroyed. if we know the initial moisture content of same food object, we can reduce its moisture content upto 10% of its initial moisture content.
What are the types of Moisture content in coals?
free moisture inherent moisture
Is determined by the angle of repose for dry sand?
Yes, the angle of repose for dry sand is the maximum angle at which sand can remain stable without collapsing. It is influenced by factors such as grain size, shape, and moisture content, and can vary depending on the specific characteristics of the sand material.
How many kilograms in a cubic feet or cubic meter of sand?
It depends on the moisture content of the sand (wet or dry) but as general rule of thumb there is 1.5 tonne of sand per cubic metre or to answer your question correctly 1500Kg per cube.
What is the optimum moisture content of soil?
The water content corresponding to the maximum dry unit weight or maximum dry density is know that as optimum moisture content.(o.M.c.) or optimum water content (o.w.c) maximum dry density is achieved at higher O.M.C.for cohesive soils or fine grained soils s compared to cohesionless soils.(sand 6-10%0
Why is it that materials with moisture content has high k values?
Discuss why materials with moisture content have high k-values
