Moisture content is a critical factor that affects the engineering behavior of soils, especially cohesive soils. Therefore, the monitoring and determination of the water content is an essential task in an experimental study in the field of geotechnical engineering. There are different techniques and standards to measure soil water content. ASTM D2216 is a laboratory standard test method for the determination of water content of the soil widely used in the United States as well as many other places around the world.
