 Gravimetric Analysis
Gravimetric analysis is a technique through which the amount of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) can be determined through the measurement of mass.
The principle behind gravimetric analysis is that the mass of an ion in a pure compound can be determined and then used to find the mass percent of the same ion in a known quantity of an impure compound.
An example of a gravimetric analysis is the determination of chloride in a compound.

 Soil Moisture
Gravimetric data were also collected for comparison with the PBMR, soil impedance, and gamma ray data along transects.
The gravimetric and neutron probe data were combined with the gamma ray data and interpreted to produce a map of the soil moisture over the FIFE study area.
For the gravimetric determination, the ability to accurately determine wet and dry weights as well as to reproducibly dry the sample is very high and results in an uncertainty of a fraction of a percent of the determined value.

 Weigh Filling (Gravimetric)
Alternatively, two heads could be used, but instead of the two heads dosing onto two live weigh cells to double the output, a bulk and top-up system would be preferred.
This provides the optimum of speed and accuracy from a live gravimetric system; the first head bulk filling quickly with a large auger, the second head making the top-up with a more accurate small auger.
Gravimetric filling at high speed is normally always carried out on rotary machines with check-weighing systems after a volumetric fill.

The gravimetric method for correcting water flux was as accurate as the 2 "nonabsorbed" marker methods.
It appeared, therefore, that the water flux estimate calculated with the gravimetric method was most accurate, while the PEG and phenol red methods apparently underestimated water flux.
The gravimetric method therefore appeared to be as accurate as the more elaborate "nonabsorbed" marker method, and it is acceptable for SPIP studies where water flux determination is important.
