Any experience in microwave moisture measurement in concrete

Any experience in microwave moisture measurement in concrete

(OP)
I have been given a project looking at the moisture content of laid concrete of various types. I want to use a microwave technique of non destructive measurement rather than a conductive technique, do you think this is a sensible approach?

And if so do you know of any reliable, accurate device.

thanks in advance

RE: Any experience in microwave moisture measurement in concrete

Following is an Article from the ASTM Website. You will probably need membership to access.  Also published in the 1994 Concrete & Aggregates journal. If you can run the journal down.  I am trying to remember where I saw another article. I don't remember if this is 'in committee' for consideration as an ASTM method.
