Check the assumptions
Confirm that surface stability, contact, bed depth and installation space match the answers used in screening.

Turn five application conditions into a viable measurement route
Complete the seven inputs, compare the screened route, then record the evidence listed beside the result. The output narrows the engineering review; it does not select a model or approve production use.

How to use the screening result
The selector narrows the measurement physics; it does not select a complete model or guarantee performance. Use the result to ask better questions about the material volume, access, influential variables and reference route before committing to hardware.
Collect missing evidence
Prepare photos, dimensions, range, density, temperature and sample-method information for engineering review.
Compare viable routes
Where more than one route remains possible, compare represented volume, maintenance, validation effort and data use.

Surface moisture and bulk moisture: define the value before selecting a sensor
Two instruments can both display moisture percentage while responding to different material volumes. The correct choice starts with the process decision, not the display unit.
NIR, contact microwave or transmission microwave: how to choose
The three routes solve different combinations of measurement depth, material access, wear, flow stability and installation space.
Why density, bed depth, distance and temperature change moisture readings
Compensation is not a claim that an instrument is unaffected. It is a controlled way to include influential variables inside the tested application range.
