Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Moisture content is, simply, how much water is in a product. It influences the physical properties of a substance, including weight, density, viscosity, conductivity, and others. It is generally determined by weight loss upon drying. There are many methods for determination of moisture content.
Detailed explanation-2: -Typically, moisture content is determined via a thermogravimetric approach, i.e., by loss on drying, in which the sample is heated and the weight loss due to evaporation of moisture is recorded.
Detailed explanation-3: -1: The Type of Material Being Tested. 2: The Temperature of the Material. 3: The Condition of the Moisture Meter. 30-Sept-2015
