Abstract
Density-independent calibration functions are a suitable solution for problems involving variation of bulk density in on-line determination of the moisture content in particulate materials by microwave techniqu es. Foundations of three of these functions are briefly reviewed and t heir frequency and temperature dependences are shown for wheat. Their effectivenesses for prediction of the moisture content are compared an d optimum conditions for a cost-effective moisture meter are discussed .
