Abstract
Goal. Goal. Design and testing of the Method for Measuring Moisture using a specially designed device, is based on measuring the electrical resistance of the biomass of Oilseed Bast Crops. Method. The research was carried out in laboratory conditions and in production; standard and specially designed devices and devices were used. Results. The moisture content of Oilseed Bast Crops is an important factor in assessing quality and determining suitability for processing. As a rule, the moisture content of biomass at harvest is 15-65%. Normative and technical documents indicate the permissible value of moisture content within 19%. The normative determination method is based on drying the biomass into a stable mass and then calculating the moisture value. However, this method requires a lot of time and stationary conditions. The article proposes a device for Measuring the Moisture content of the biomass of Oilseed Bast Crops. The operating principle is based on measuring the electrical resistance of a biomass sample. The method and device were verified by comparing the moisture content of Oilseed Flax and Fiber Flax biomass using the developed device and the normative drying method. It is proposed to use the moisture determination method to assess the quality of the biomass of oil flax, fiber flax, hemp. Practical significance. The Method for Measuring Moisture based on measuring the electrical resistance of a biomass sample has advantages over the normative moisture determination method: mobility, economy, ergonomics. It is applicable both in the laboratory and in the field. Can be recommended for use by agricultural enterprises and scientific research
