It is important to quantify the state of a soil immediately after receiving in the laboratory and prior to commencing other tests. The water content and unit weight are particularly important, since they may change during transportation and storage.

Some physical state properties are calculated following the practical measurement of others. For example, dry unit weight can be determined from bulk unit weight and water content. The following are some inter-relations:
