Certain soils contain gypsum which on heating loses its water if crystallization. If it is suspected that gypsum is present in the soil sample used for moisture content determination it shall be dried at not more than 80 'C and possibly for a longer time.

For soils having high gypsum contain temperature is not increaseed beyond 80° in order to loss of water crystalization.
