In this paper, a system for measuring moisture content of wood-chip samples is presented, based on propagation time measurements of electromagnetic pulses in a two wire probe. Both simulation and experimental results are reported, validated by concurrently performed TGA measurements. It is shown that the proposed approach may be advantageous, since it features a good sensitivity and a very high measurement speed.

Abstract

In this paper, a system for measuring moisture content of wood-chip samples is presented, based on propagation time measurements of electromagnetic pulses in a two wire probe. Both simulation and experimental results are reported, validated by concurrently performed TGA measurements. It is shown that the proposed approach may be advantageous, since it features a good sensitivity and a very high measurement speed.
