Wet-Tonnage to Dry-Tonnage Converter
Convert moist ore/concentrate wet weight to net dry weight based on moisture percentage.
💡 Engineering Knowledge PrimerConcentrates and bulk ores are sold on a net dry weight basis. Moisture deduction formulas convert scale ticket wet weight into billable dry tonnage to calculate commercial shipment value and avoid paying freight on water.
CALCULATION SCOPE — Deterministic calculation within the published assumptions. Independently verify all design decisions and project-specific code requirements.

GOVERNING EQUATION
Dry Weight = Wet Weight × (1 - Moisture% / 100)
Water Mass = Wet Weight - Dry Weight
Assumptions & Scope
Standard commercial moisture deduction formula.
Operating Range & Boundary
