Mold Volume Factor

Note
titleMold Volume FactorImportant

The Mold Volume Factor, used to calculate the Wet Density of a One-Point test, is used in placed of the actual Mold Volume. The Mold Volume Factor is determined by the following:

Mold Volume Factor = 1 / Mold Volume

The One-Point Wet Density Calculation differs from that of say, a Drive Cylinder:

EXAMPLE

Drive Cylinder

Wet Density (pcf) = Wet Soil Weight (g) / Volume of Cylinder (cf)

One-Point

Wet Density = Mold Volume Factor x Wet Soil Weight (g)

The above One-Point math can be re-written as:

Wet Density = (1 / Mold Volume) x Wet Soil Weight (g)
