摘要：
A grain probe moisture meter was developed for rapid and objective measurement of moisture content while doing the customary grain sampling in bags comprising of a standard grain probe, probe base, a test chamber assembly and casing assembly. The grain probe moisture meter is a capacitance type meter utilizing a constant volume of grain as the dielectric material and whose frequency values increased with corresponding decrease in moisture content of the grains. A rechargeable 3.7-Volt lithium battery provides power to the whole system. The invention incorporated a moisture sensing device to existing probe to facilitate moisture content measurement while collecting grains for other quality assessment. It offers an objective and immediate determination of moisture content. It is made portable which can be brought handy in the field without difficulty.
