    This document outlines two methods for determining the moisture content in peat. Method I involves drying a 10-12g sample at 105°C for 16 hours then calculating moisture percentage based on weight loss. Method II involves air drying a larger sample for 24+ hours then grinding and weighing a 10g equivalent sample to dry at 105°C and calculate moisture percentage.

    AOAC Official Method 967.03
    Moisture in Peat
    First Action 1967
    Final Action 1978
    A. Method I
    Mix test sample thoroughly and place 10–12 g test portion in ig-
    nited and weighed (with fitted heavy-duty Al foil cover) Vycor or
    porcelain evaporating dish, ≥75 mL capacity. Crush soft lumps with
    spoon or spatula. Cover immediately with Al foil cover and weigh to
    nearest mg. Dry, uncovered, 16 h at 105°C. Remove from oven,
    cover tightly, cool, and weigh.

    Percent moisture (report to nearest 0.1%) =


    (g as-received test portion – g oven-dried test portion)
    × 100/g as-received test portion
    B. Method II
    (Use when pH, N, fiber, etc., are to be determined.)
    Mix thoroughly and weigh 100–300 g representative test sample,
    967.02 (see 2.7.02), and spread evenly on large flat pan. Crush soft
    lumps with spoon or spatula and let come to moisture equilibrium
    with room air ≥24 h. Stir occasionally to maintain maximum air ex-
    posure of entire test sample. When weight is constant calculate loss
    in weight as percent moisture removed by air drying. Grind repre-
    sentative portion of air-dried test sample 1–2 min in high-speed
    blender; use for moisture, ash, and N determinations.
    Mix air-dried, ground test sample and weigh, to nearest mg,
    equivalent of 10 g test portion on as-received basis (g air-dried test
    sample equivalent to 10.0 g as-received test sample = 10.0 – [(10.0 ×
    percent moisture removed)/100]). Place weighed test portion in ig-
    nited and weighed (with fitted heavy duty Al foil cover) Vycor or
    porcelain evaporating dish and proceed as in A.

    Percent moisture (report to nearest 0.1%)


    = (10.0 – g oven-dried test sample) × 10.0
