Abstract

A microwave moisture gauge for limestone in the sintering plant is described. The frequency dependence of the microwave attenuation due to the moisture was studied, and a transmission type microwave moisture gauge has been developed. A self balancing method is used for attenuation measurement in the moisture gauge. The microwave moisture gauge is now in on- line operation.
