Abstract
Moisture measurement is concerned with the measurement of the concentration of water within a gas, liquid or solid. Its accurate measurement is fundamental to many industrial processes. In some cases the moisture content can affect the processes themselves, such as in glue or paint drying applications, and in others, being able to maintain products just below a certain maximum moisture content can have a substantial impact on their weight. As a large number of products, particularly food products, are sold on weight, this can have a considerable effect on the profitability of a product line.
