Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9514228A1] A moisture-sensing apparatus comprises a housing (10) which contains a moisture-sensing element (15). The housing has, at its upper end, an inlet (14) for flowable material and has, at its lower end, means (16) defining an outward flow path for material within the housing. The housing incorporates means to control the packing density of flowable material within the housing. Thus the upper part of the housing is provided with a cover (13) having an upper surface (12) which prevents direct pressure being applied to material within the housing, the inlet to the housing being defined by apertures (14) which lie in a substantially vertical plane.
