A microwave water-in-crude monitor measures the percent quantity of water in crude oil flowing in a pipe line by causing the crude oil to flow through a measuring cell. A microwave transmitter is arranged with the measuring cell and transmits microwave energy through the measuring cell. A microwave receiver receives the energy transmitted through the measuring cell and provides a signal in accordance with the received energy. Apparatus connected to the microwave receiver provides a display of the water content of the crude oil in accordance with the signal from the microwave receiver.
