The infrared Moisture Balance is an instrument for measuring the moisture content of materials that do not change their chemical structure while losing water under exposure to infrared radiation. This instrument is widely used for testing soils used in construction, agricultural soils, chemicals, raw materials, foods, pharmaceuticals, plastics and similar materials.
Since drying and weighing are simultaneous the infrared Moisture Balance is especially useful for determining the moisture percentage in substances that quickly reabsorb moisture after drying. The input power to the infrared lamp can be continously varied using a electronic regulator. As a result greater penetration of heat is possible than in conventional methods.
The balance scale is divided directly in moisture percentages from 0 to 100% in 0.2% divisions. A thermometer is provided for estimating the temperature of the drying chamber. Supplied complete with electronic regulator ‘L’ bend thermometer, 10 disposable pans, one twizor, and instruction manual. Available in 5gms, 10gms or 25gms capacity. Optional Accessories : Automatic 0-30 minute mechanical timer
