Density Tests
Sometimes I need to "adjust" numbers to correct for proctor changes. Nothing "critical" but necessary to facilitate movement on job. cassimons response is familiar, I will verify tomorrow. Thanks for responses!!!!!- belzer

BigH a question on a previous post!
MRM does a nice job in explaining as an engineer. But, summer05, you seem to want the basics. The relationship between dry density and wet density is: dry density = wet density divide by (1 + moisture content as a fraction). e.g., Moisture content is 10%. Wet density is 110 pcf, then the...- belzer

Density Tests
I want to verify dry density and wet density numbers on a Troxler 3440. I know how to verify dry density---proctor x % of compaction= dry density number. How do I verify the wet density number? Thanks- belzer
