ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring water content of flowable mixtures such as casting sand, concrete, or chemical mixtures. The mixture is agitated in a mixing tray (10), then a moisture sensing measuring probe (7) is inserted into the mix for taking a measurement. The probe is then withdrawn from the mix and cleaned, as by brushing, stripping, blasting with air, or spraying with liquid. A temperature sensor (8 ) may also be inserted into the mix with the measuring probe. The probe is mounted in a lifting unit (5) which normally holds the probe in a cooling and cleaning casing (6) out of the mix. The unit can also locate the probe at different selected levels within the mix.
