The sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) is an irrigation water quality parameter used in the management of sodium-affected soils.It is an indicator of the suitability of water for use in agricultural irrigation, as determined from the concentrations of the main alkaline and earth alkaline cations present in the water.
in the condensation of the water-vapour of the air on the cold surface of a glass; in the capillarity of hair, wool, cotton, wood shavings, etc.; in the imbibition of water from the air by gelatine; in the deliquescence of common salt; in the absorption of water from the air by concentrated sulphuric acid; in the behaviour of quicklime".

A percolation test (colloquially called a perc test) is a test to determine the water absorption rate of soil (that is, its capacity for percolation) in preparation for the building of a septic drain field (leach field) or infiltration basin. [1] The results of a percolation test are required to design a septic system properly.
Moisture analysis covers a variety of methods for measuring the moisture content in solids, liquids, or gases.For example, moisture (usually measured as a percentage) is a common specification in commercial food production. [1]
From the kinetic results, the rate of water uptake and water diffusion coefficients can be determined. The equilibrium mass values at the end of each humidity step were used to calculate the sorption and desorption isotherms (Figure 1b). The difference in water vapor uptake between the sorption and desorption isotherms is called the hysteresis ...
The relationship between water content and equilibrium relative humidity of a material can be displayed graphically by a curve, the so-called moisture sorption isotherm. For each humidity value, a sorption isotherm indicates the corresponding water content value at a given temperature. If the composition or quality of the material changes, then ...
The property is quantifiable through various test procedures. Example tests are ISO 13029:2012, [11] and AATCC TM195. [12] Objective test methods for water absorption and transport in fabrics include: Siphon test, vertical wicking and transverse wicking tests. [3] Optical measurement of contact angle. [3] Spectroscopic methods. [3] Electrical ...
