Moisture meter curve calibration system

摘要

A system for calibrating moisture meters by comparing data from a plurality of infrared moisture meters with data from analytical moisture tests for a plurality of blends of tobacco, wherein a computer is programmed to perform a statistical analysis on the resultant data to produce a calibration curve for each moisture meter for each blend of tobacco, and where the calibration curve is automatically transferred to a control system programmed to apply the corresponding calibration curve to raw data from the moisture meter to provide corrected meter data for affecting control of the tobacco handling process.
