Hi

Have an application to measure the moisture content of a material on a running conveyor, measurment has to be non contact, medium is coal

Any ideas ?

Have tried Siemens and Endress & Hauser but no luck

I am not sure about the Coal bit but it might be worth talking to Process Sensors in Corby about this. We use their systems successfully on Food ingredients.

What about an isotope gauge??

I've only used them in sheet thickness measurment, but do believe they have been used in the tobaco industry for moisture measurment...Just a thought..
