Abstract The importance of
grain-moisture measurement and the use of electrical moisture meters are discussed
briefly. References to earlier work with such moisture meters are cited, and
a brief description of the electrical or dielectric properties which such
instruments depend upon is included. The information available in the
literature on the dielectric properties of grain is reviewed from the
viewpoint of its usefulness in grain-moisture measurement. Factors other than
moisture that influence the dielectric properties of grain are discussed, and
suggestions are given concerning information needed to determine the best
frequency ranges to use for more reliable moisture measurement of grain using
electrical properties. |
