In concrete production, measurement of the moisture in the aggregate allows the proper weight of dry aggregate to be batched. If the sand contains 10% moisture, when 1000lb is weighed out, the scale contains only 900lb of sand; 100lb of the contents is water. If the moisture is known, 1100lb of sand is weighed out, giving 1000lb of sand and 100lb of water. The proportions of dry ingredients are corrected according to the mix design.
