Abstract
The water content of electrically non-conductive powders, granulates, pastes and fibrous materials may be measured on the basis of microwave absorption. A frequency-modulated microwave oscillator supplies a closed multimode measuring resonator charged with the sample in a transmission arrangement. The sample charged into a container almost completely fills the multimode resonator. The sample container is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. A substantial homogeneity of the field distribution in the sample is thus obtained so that even in the case of variations in the bulk density, accurate measurements are still possible.
