Calcium Carbide usually known as RMM( Rapid Moisture Meter test ) is a field test method.
Oven drying method is a lab method test with proper temp. control. So due to temperature control so the test result is most accurate 24 hr. 105 - 110 degree celsius.

Calcium carbide is a quick method but not most accurate than oven drying.
So, Accurate method for determination of water content is oven drying method.
So, Accurate method for determination of water content is oven drying method.

Weight of Water = Weight of moisture soil - Weight oven drying soil.
Whereas, Water Content = Weight of Water / Weight of Solids.
Whereas, Water Content = Weight of Water / Weight of Solids.

Weight of moisture soil > weight oven drying soil,
So, water content = weight of moisture soil- weight oven drying soil.
So, water content = weight of moisture soil- weight oven drying soil.

W = weight of water/ weight of solids.
Weight is calculated when water is present and water is absent.

Calcium Carbide is more accurate as during Oven Drying organic matter can be vaporised from the soil.
