Determination of Moisture Content – Properties and …
The moisture content of soil also referred to as water content, is an indicator of the amount of water present in soil. Moisture content is the ratio of the mass of water contained in the pore spaces of soil to the solid mass of particles in that material, expressed as a percentage. A standard temperature of 110 ± 5°C is used to determine the ...

Essential considerations in belt conveyor design
The incorporation of a belt feeder, which meters material onto the belt from a bin or hopper is often essential in this setting. The design of the loading area must also consider the velocity at which material will hit the belt and the size of the material. Additional components such as an impact bed may be necessary to minimize belt wear.
