The moisture balance has a measuring range of 0 ... 100% absolute humidity. The moisture balance is operated via the 5" large touchscreen. To measure the moisture content with the moisture balance, a sample is evenly distributed on the sample pan. The sample pan is then placed and sealed in the moisture balance. After setting all parameters, the moisture balance begins the measurement.

The moisture balance determines the moisture content based on the measured weight difference, relative to the weight before and after drying the sample. The adjustable temperature range for the moisture balance is between 40 ... 165 °C. Thus, a specific drying temperature for the sample can be selected with the moisture balance. The generated drying temperature is produced by a built-in halogen lamp with a diameter of 90 mm.

The drying process of the sample makes the moisture balance usable in various fields. Thus, the moisture balance finds its application, for example, in laboratories to measure the moisture of different powders, in quality control to determine the moisture of granules, or on farms to determine the moisture content of oats, grains, or wheat.

A major advantage over devices using capacitive measuring methods is that the moisture balance operates independently of characteristic curves and provides more accurate results.

The measured values can be transferred to a PC via the Serial RS232 interface of the moisture balance for analysis. A suitable software is available optionally for the moisture balance. If required, the moisture balance can be supplied with an ISO calibration certificate.
