Instrumentation for Measurement of Moisture
Author: L. F. Ballard
Publisher: Highway Research Board
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 632
Book Description
The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of existing instrumentation and techniques and to stimulate development of modified or new procedures to measure the amount and state of water in highway components, such as embankments, subgrades, base courses, pavements, and structures. In accomplishing this objective, the researchers conducted an extensive literature review. Those techniques that appear to be immediately applicable to highway problems were evaluated using a linear decision model for comparing instrument performance characteristics with specific moisture measurement needs. A comprehensive list of performance characteristics with which to make this comparison was compiled.

Handbook of Humidity Measurement, Volume 1
Author: Ghenadii Korotcenkov
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351400649
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The first volume of The Handbook of Humidity Measurement focuses on the review of devices based on optical principles of measurement such as optical UV, fluorescence hygrometers, optical and fiber-optic sensors of various types. Numerous methods for monitoring the atmosphere have been developed in recent years, based on measuring the absorption of electromagnetic field in different spectral ranges. These methods, covering the optical (FTIR and Lidar techniques), as well as a microwave and THz ranges are discussed in detail in this volume. The role of humidity-sensitive materials in optical and fiber-optic sensors is also detailed. This volume describes the reasons for controlling the humidity, features of water and water vapors, and units used for humidity measurement.

Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils
Author: Delwyn G. Fredlund
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 047185008X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
The principles and concepts for unsaturated soils are developed as extensions of saturated soils. Addresses problems where soils have a matric suction or where pore-water pressure is negative. Covers theory, measurement and use of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils--permeability, shear strength and volume change. Includes a significant amount of case studies.

Industrial Moisture and Humidity Measurement
Author: Roland Wernecke
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527652434
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Moisture analysis covers a variety of methods for measuring high levels of moisture, as well as trace amounts, in solids, liquids, or gases. There are many applications where trace moisture measurements are indispensable for manufacturing and for process quality assurance. Trace moisture in solids must be controlled for plastics, pharmaceuticals and heat treatment processes. Measurement applications in gases and liquids include, for example, drying processes, hydrocarbon processing, pure gases in the semiconductor industry, natural gas pipeline transport, the conditioning of food and other products. Written by experts with over 20 years of experience in the field, this one-stop guide covers all aspects of these measurements, including both the theory and a wealth of practical know-how. As such, it includes guidelines on installation, on the realization of standards for absolute and relative humidity, verification and traceability measurements, equipment calibration methods and the latest research developments. Backed by numerous case studies, this practical book serves the needs of those working in the industry tasked with performing or developing new techniques and processes for moisture and humidity measurement. As a result, the scientist or engineer has all the information required for accurate, reliable, economically viable and efficient moisture measurement.
