Abstract :
Experiments on unground fish meal have been performed using a newly developed density independent moisture meter based upon a two-parameter measurement of a transmission horn applicator. It is considerably better for this material than any instrument based on single parameter measurement. For very heterogeneous materials the moisture content could be determined to within ± 0.6% moisture content or better - depending on the range of density variation experienced in practice.
