Moisture Content Converter (Wet vs Dry Basis)
Convert between wet-basis moisture percentage (Mw) and dry-basis moisture percentage (Md).
💡 Engineering Knowledge PrimerWet-basis moisture (Mw) expresses water mass relative to total wet sample weight (used in commercial concentrate trading), whereas dry-basis moisture (Md) expresses water mass relative to dry solids (used in soil mechanics and drying energy calculations).
CALCULATION SCOPE — Deterministic calculation within the published assumptions. Independently verify all design decisions and project-specific code requirements.

GOVERNING EQUATION
Md = [ Mw / (100 - Mw) ] × 100%
Assumptions & Scope
Dry weight basis definition: mass of water divided by mass of dry solids.
Operating Range & Boundary
Use finite, physically meaningful inputs within the stated operating assumptions.
