INTRODUCTION
Moisture analysis covers moisture content in both
high level and trace amounts in solids, liquids, or
gases.
Moisture in percentage amounts is monitored as a
specification in commercial food production.
Trace moisture in solids must be controlled for
plastics, pharmaceuticals and heat treatment
processes.
MOISTURE
Moisture content or Water content is the quantity
of water contained in a material, such as soil
(called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, fruit, and wood.
Water content is used in a wide range of scientific and
technical areas, and is expressed as a ratio, which can
range from zero (completely dry) to the value of the
materials porosity at saturation.
Moisture refers to the presence of a liquid especially
water , often in trace amounts.
1. CAPACITIVE METHOD
. Capacitive sensing has gained increasing importance
in the last decades and is successfully employed in
various applications in industrial and automotive
technologies.
.Due to the high relative permittivity of water ( Er- of
water about 80), capacitive techniques are typically
well-suited for moisture measurement in bulk solids .
2. RESISTIVE METHOD
The resistance of the material will depend in certain
cases on the water content and this can be used to
measure the moisture content.

ADVANTAGES
Immediate results.
No preparation of samples.
Increased production .
Reduced water and energy consumption.
Better control of diseases .
Time and labour savings.
Higher accuracy.
DISADVANTAGES
The moisture present in the test substance should be
equally distributed.
Specific calibration required.
APPLICATIONS
CONCLUSION
Moisture transport in building materials poses serious
problems, both to human comfort and the structural
integrity of building materials.
It is essential to be able to determine the conditions
and characteristics that cause moisture transfer across
building materials.
