measuring matter Moisture content commonly conducted by using oven then take the ratio of dry matter and wet matter. this method is so common and accurate enough but takes a long timewhile sometimes we need the value of water content as soon as posible. I ever heard MC meter could measure the water content of a material instantly but i wondering if its accurate enough as The "oven method" and also how this apparatus actually works.
NB:i measure water content of compost raw materials such Paddy straw, Bagasse etc.
