The following calculations are used in this test:
Water Content
w = 100 * (Mws - Mds) / (Mds - Mt)
where,
w = Percentage water content
Mws = Mass of tare and wet specimen
Mds = Mass of tare and dry specimen
Mt = Mass of tare
Plasticity Index
PI = LL - PL
where,
PI = Plasticity index
LL = Liquid limit
PL = Plastic limit
