natural moisture content vs. water saturation Explanation: wilgotność naturalna = natural moisture content Definition: • The natural water content also called the natural moisture content is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of the solids in a given mass of soil. This ratio is usually expressed as percentage. stopień wilgotności = water saturation or degree of saturation In soil mechanics and petroleum engineering, the term water saturation or degree of saturation, S_w is used, defined as S_w = \frac{V_w}{V_v} = \frac{V_w}{V_T\phi} = \frac{\theta}{\phi} where \phi = V_v / V_T is the porosity and V_v is the volume of void or pore space. Values of Sw can range from 0 (dry) to 1 (saturated). In reality, Sw never reaches 0 or 1 - these are idealizations for engineering use. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day16 hrs (2014-08-08 05:31:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- i do not know how to explain the 300-800 scale you're seeing. maybe more context could help...
