Three methods.

This Part of BS 812 describes the following three methods for the determination of the moisture content of aggregates: oven-drying method (definitive method); high temperature method; microwave-oven method for fine aggregate only. It also describes the calcium carbide method in appendix A. NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
