In view of the shortcomings of the current lubricating oil water content detection technology with expensive equipment and few online measurements, an online measurement device based on microwave resonance technology was designed. It consists of resonator, microcontroller unit, coaxial transmission line, voltage-controlled oscillator, logarithmic detector and PC. Combined with the finite element simulation software HFSS, a microwave resonator was designed, and the S-parameter response curve was simulated under the state of uniform and non-uniform distribution of water and oil, and the relationship between resonant frequency and water content was obtained. In the experiment, the measurement device was fabricated to measure the relationship between resonance frequency and water content in the range of 0~1.2%, and the results are consistent with the simulation. Temperature compensation was carried out within 16~30 ℃ to improve the measurement accuracy. Finally, the device was connected to the oil pipe for on-line measurement, and the results prove the effectiveness of the measurement device.
