Water Content (volumetric)

`Omega = V_W / V_T `
`(V_W)"Volume of Water"`
`(V_T)"Total Volume"`

The volumetric water content (Ω) is the volume of the water contained in a sample volume divided by the volume of the solid (dry mass equivalent) in that same volume.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose the preferred units and enter the following:

  • (VW)  This is the volume of water
  • (VT)   This is the total volume

Water Percentage (Ω):  The calculator returns the percent volume of water.

Notes

In engineering application the gravimetric water content is a measure of how wet the sample is.
