Method of Estimating Bale Moisture Content after Moisture Restoration

R.K. Byler, W.S. Anthony and M.E. Galyon


ABSTRACT

Proper control of the moisture restored to ginned lint before it is baled in commercial gins requires accurate moisture sensors. In this study two resistance-based moisture content (mc) indicators were used, one located before moisture was added and the other after moisture was added with humidified air. Regression relationships that predicted the mc of samples measured by the oven method within ±0.24% were developed. The algorithm was verified using additional data collected at a later date.
