ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process is disclosed for enabling the measurement of moisture in a sample cell by use of microwave energy. A sample cell of predetermined volume is located within an anechoic chamber and positioned on a weight measuring device to measure the weight of any material in the sample cell. Microwave energy is directed through the material in the sample cell by means of a transmitter and receiver to provide a measurement of the water weight in the sample. A temperature sensor is located to measure the temperature in the cell and the reading is combined with the microwave water weight measurement and the weight of the sample to calculate the percent moisture and the bulk density of the material.
