Title

An investigation into the performances of five typical rapid methods of measuring the moisture content of grain

Description

This Report of the British Society for Research in Agricultural Engineering aims to group various commercial devices for rapid methods of measuring grain moisture content, into broad categories to investigate the performance of one typical instrument from each group.
Information is presented under these headings:- 1. Introduction; 2. Methods of Moisture Content Measurement Investigated. 3. Milling of Samples; 4. Comparison of Rapid Methods with Reference Method; 5. Other Work Carried Out with Rapid Methods; 6. Conclusions; Fig. 1: Regression line and confidence limits - explanatory diagram; Fig. 2: Rapid oven method; Fig. 3: Infra-red heating method; Fig. 4: Chemical reaction method; Fig. 5: Electrical conductivity (D.C.) method; Fig. 6: Electrical impedance (L.F.) method; Fig. 7: Electrical impedance (H.F.) method; Fig. 8: Infra-red heating method; Fig. 9: Electrical conductivity (D.C.) method; Fig. 10: Electrical impedance (L.P.) method; Fig. 11: Electrical impedance (H.F.) method; Appendix 1: Tabulated results; Appendix II: Sieving tests on milled wheat
