Question

Dry basis and wet basis moisture content

Answer 1

In most applications, moisture content is expressed on a wet basis, that is, as the water mass in grams per 100 grams of the total mass, which includes the water. In drying and humidification calculations, however, the moisture content is frequently expressed on a dry basis, that is, as the water mass in grams per 100 grams of dry matter. This Demonstration plots the relationship between the two moisture content measures and converts entries expressed on a wet basis to a dry basis and vice versa.
