How Moisture Analysis Instruments Are Used

Moisture analyzers The PCE series moisture analyzers are designed to be used in the s

 Industrial or professional sector. The moisture analyzers determine the dry substance that remains after an infrared energy drying process of the previously weighed total substance and thus calculates the moisture of the wet mass. During the drying process, you can see the decrease in moisture content on the screen. Moisture analyzers are ideal devices for accurately determining moisture, dry substance or the consistency of volatile and fixed materials and substances. These moisture analyzers are used mainly in the industrial sector to quickly analyze pastes, doughs, wood, adhesives, powders … both in the production and in the control of incoming goods. The moisture analyzer weighing system has all the properties of modern moisture analyzers. Moisture analyzers have a 2-year warranty The moisture analyzer weighing system has all the properties of modern moisture analyzers. Moisture analyzers have a 2-year warranty The moisture analyzer weighing system has all the properties of modern moisture analyzers. 

 

The use of moisture analyzers is almost unlimited. You can quickly and accurately analyze the humidity of the most diverse bulk materials, powdered materials, food, wood pellets or pastes. Below you can see some images with different materials.

If you wish, you can request the additional components of the moisture analyzers: software package (software and data cable) for direct transmission of data to the PC, printer, round fiberglass filters, external control weights to be able to Perform the on-site calibration autonomously … You can also have the humidity analyzers calibrated in a laboratory according to ISO 9000 and request the corresponding certificate (optional / eg when ordering the humidity analyzer or with annual recalibration).

An ISO calibration or an official calibration can be performed in an accredited (authorized) control laboratory.

 

 Measuring principle of moisture analyzers: the thermogravimetric method is based on the determination of weight loss through the drying process. The material sample must be weighed before and after drying. The difference in weights is established concerning the initial weight or the final weight after drying.

 

 Moisture content in materials: with the thermogravimetric measurement method, all the components of the material sample that can modify their physical state (eg in the evaporation caused by heating) and that are involved in weight loss are included in the measurement. The measurement of the moisture content in the materials does not consist only in the measurement of the mere water content in the material. In this measurement, all types of volatile substances such as alcohols, aromatic substances, base diluents must be taken into account organic and other substances that originate with thermal decomposition. In thermogravimetry there is no difference between water and other volatile substances, however, there are a couple of measurement methods that do not cause damage to the material that can measure the water content in the material, although it is not the time to explain the operation of such methods.

 The use of halogen radiation in a moisture analyzer allows the user a considerable saving of time when compared to the conventional method in a drying cabinet with which a stream of hot air from outside penetrates the interior of the material and heats it producing a loss of moisture.
