Moisture Meters (Electronic Method)

Procedure:

A small sample of the grain is placed in a moisture meter.

The device measures moisture content based on electrical conductivity, capacitance, or resistance, which varies with moisture levels.

The result is displayed digitally within seconds.

Commonly Used Instruments:

Grain moisture meters like GAC, Perten, or Dickey-john models.

Advantages:

Quick and easy to use.

Portable and non-destructive.

Moisture content of grain can be measured by using either: primary method, based on weight measurements.f

[Hamza]

Moisture content of grain can be measured by using either:

primary method, based on weight measurements like the (a) oven method or an (b) infrared moisture balance or.

secondary method, using an electronic instrument that uses electrical characteristics of the grains.

[Bello Bashir]

A standard method that involves drying a known weight of ground grain at a specific temperature until the weight of the dry matter remains constant. This method is considered the most accurate

An indirect method that measures the electrical resistance or capacitance of the grain. Moisture meters are the preferred tool for farm and field use because they are simple to use.

To ensure accurate results, it’s important to use a representative sample of the grain and to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the meter you’re using. If the moisture content of the sample is within 0.5% of the cut-off level, it’s recommended to retest the sample three times with different meters and average the results.

The moisture content of received grains is typically tested using one of the following methods:

1. Moisture Meters (Electronic Method)

2. Oven-Drying Method (Standard Reference)

Procedure:

A specific quantity of grain (e.g., 100g) is weighed and placed in an oven at a controlled temperature (usually 105°C) for 24 hours.

The moisture content of received grains is typically tested using a moisture meter or moisture analyzer. A representative sample of the grain is taken and placed in the device, which uses either electrical resistance or infrared technology to measure moisture levels. The results are compared against acceptable industry standards to ensure the grains meet quality requirements for storage and processing.The moisture content of received grains is typically tested using a moisture meter or moisture analyzer.
