The precision balance enables accurate and simple moisture determination in a wide range of materials. The sample is automatically weighed, dried and the weight loss is displayed as moisture content. This measuring principle does not require any time-consuming creation of characteristic curves and is immediately ready for use shortly after set-up.

For the weighing task, the precision balance has an electromagnetic load cell installed which registers the weight loss with a measuring resolution of 0.1 mg = 0.0001 g. For the drying of the sample, a moisture analyzer is installed in the sample chamber. To dry the sample, a 400 watt halogen round lamp installed in the lid is used to ensure uniform heat distribution.

To avoid burning the sample, the user of the precision balance can access the internal product database or set the drying temperature between 35 °C and 160 °C in 1 °C steps, product specific. The product database has preset drying parameters that can be easily expanded and changed by the user.
