atomic moisture meter
A device to monitor the moisture in coal passing through a preparation plant, by using radiation that is sensitive to hydrogen atoms. The coal is bombarded with neutrons, some of which strike hydrogen atoms and bounce back to a detector tube, thus providing a continuous measure of moisture content. This meter permits the moisture content of coal to be measured instantaneously, continuously, and automatically.
