Improving the Precision of Moisture Content Detection by Use of Electrical Resistance Method

Abstract:

Moisture content of Quercus mongolica Fisch was detected by use of electrical resistance method under 30~80°C, and the real moisture content of it was obtained with weight method. Based on experimental data two empirical models were established among real moisture content, temperature and measured moisture content which were detected by moisture content apparatus with temperature compensated and without temperature compensated, respectively. Results indicated that measured moisture content of Quercus mongolica Fisch had a good agreement with the real moisture content after the measured moisture content was corrected by any of the above two empirical models under 30~80°C and 7~29% moisture content.
