Abstract:
Measurement of moisture content of materials is important in diverse areas of industry and research. This study reviews background information on the current state of moisture measurement, particularly measurement traceability and calibration. Evidence has been gathered from users and suppliers of moisture measuring equipment; university researchers; relevant groups across NPL, LGC, and overseas NMIs; and other UK and international experts as appropriate. User needs for NMS support for moisture measurement are reported. Recommendations are presented along with details of the plans for future work at NPL. These include contributions to NMS projects in the NPL Materials area, where moisture measurements can have some immediate impact.
