Determination of equilibrium moisture content of …
All porous building materials, when in contact with moist air, adsorb or desorb water molecules to attain an equilibrium moisture content in them [1]. This equilibrium moisture content depends very strongly on the partial pressure of the water vapor in the surrounding air and rather weakly on the air temperature [2-6] that are commonly.

We have found that the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) for gypsum board at 50% RH is 0.3%. Samples exposed to 80-85% RH equalize at 0.4-0.5%. At 90-95%, they equalize at 0.7-0.8% MC. At these high levels, wood equalizes at about 20%, the generally accepted threshold for wood decay. The actual threshold depends on the length of time the high ...

A simple model for rapid gypsum determination in arid soils
The proposed method for gypsum determination determines the water loss of a soil sample by heating at 70 °C and 135–150 °C, which allows an accurate estimate of the gypsum content of a soil using a recovery factor of 19.66%. In a laboratory, the gypsum content of 120 soil samples can be determined in 60 min work.
