Agriculture Moisture Content Wet Basis Calculator

Mass-weighted actual paired samples on WET denominator, not existing dry-basis lumber or dry-matter multiplication. Caller independently establishes units, regime, calibration and applicability; this does not establish design-code compliance, authenticity, operational safety, treatment efficacy or a validated forecast.

Description

Wet-basis moisture divides water mass by wet sample mass.

Wet-basis moisture divides water mass by wet sample mass.^[1]

It differs from dry-basis moisture and can be pooled by matched sample mass. Use Agriculture Moisture Content Wet Basis Calculator to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below.

When to use Agriculture Moisture Content Wet Basis Calculator

Use Agriculture Moisture Content Wet Basis Calculator to evaluate the supplied inputs under the model explained below. Establish the units, measurement scope and model assumptions before entering values.

How to use Agriculture Moisture Content Wet Basis Calculator and understand its results

Establish the units, measurement scope and model assumptions before entering values.
Enter Observed wet sample mass kg, Oven dry matched sample mass kg using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
Read Sample wet basis moisture fractions, Pooled wet basis moisture fraction; interpret the units, signs, ordering and unknown-value placeholders described below.
Correct reported input errors and rerun. Apply successful results according to their specific meanings and check the assumptions before using them in a decision.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
observedWetSampleMassKg	Observed wet sample mass kg	array of number	Required; constraints below
ovenDryMatchedSampleMassKg	Oven dry matched sample mass kg	array of number	Required; constraints below

Enter nonempty aligned positive wet sample masses and nonnegative matched oven-dry masses in kg, requiring dry≤wet. Return each 1−dry/wet and pooled 1−sum(dry)/sum(wet), as fractions rather than percent. No dry-basis conversion, drying protocol or commodity target is supplied.

wetBasisFraction[i]=(wet−dry)/wet; pooledFraction=1−Σdry/Σwet

Use the field order, units and branch conditions described above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
sampleWetBasisMoistureFractions	Sample wet basis moisture fractions	array of number
pooledWetBasisMoistureFraction	Pooled wet basis moisture fraction	number

Limitations and assumptions

It differs from dry-basis moisture and can be pooled by matched sample mass. Apply the exact scope and assumptions explained above.

All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are explained above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. Input errors differ from successful false results, empty match lists and unknown-evidence placeholders.
