The cotton and cottonseed industries are modernizing technical methods and instruments along with suppliers of other raw materials. Described herein is an improved electrical conductivity instrument for measuring rapidly and accurately the moisture content of lint cotton, seed cotton, and cottonseed. Moisture contents in percentages, based on total weights of samples, are indicated on a direct reading dial. Accurate measurements of ± 1% in the 3.3-22% moisture range are obtainable with this instrument when compared with standard oven metheds. A relatively large representative sample (35 g. lint cotton, 100 g. seed cotton and cottonseed), control of sample density (600 lb./sq. in. pressure), and a stable electrical system are the contributing factors for a successful instrument. Background of Development The industry has long recognized the need for a rapid and accurate method of determining the moisture content of cotton and cottonseed samples. As early as 1875 an international conference assembled in Switzerland to adopt standards for moisture regain in textile fibers and fabrics. Since then research has continuously provided a wealth of information on this subject; as a result, a number of useful instruments have been developed to measure moisture content. Essentially all of the instruments developed to date that operate with speed and accuracy are of the elecI trical type, and these instruments can be divided into two general classes : the capacitance type, in which the dielectric constant is associated with nwisture; and the conductivity type, in which the electrical resistance of the sample is correlated with the percentage of moisture. Of the two, the resi~oe method is the nwst popular. Ed’ef sen [ 2 ] summarized the potentials of the dielectric method for measuring the moisture content of textik materials; more recently, Heark (3) has investigated the dielectric properties of fiber sasanblies. Whitten and coworkers 141 concluded that the resistance method is the most practical for cottonseed.
