Loss on Drying

CSC Scientific's history in moisture content measurement goes back to the late 1940's. That was when the first direct-reading moisture meter was introduced. The meter became known as the CENCO Moisture Balance. It has been used and is still being used to determine moisture content in the food , chemical, pharmaceutical and construction industries. The concepts used have been updated in the digital Moisture Balance and the Economy Moisture Balance. At Loss on Drying you can preview these moisture meters.

Dielectric/Radio Frequency Moisture Testing

In the 1980's CSC began to offer moisture test equipment based on dielectric and radio frequency techniques. These moisture meters allowed a moisture test in seconds instead of minutes. This type of moisture meter is of particular utility in the determination of moisture content in agricultural products such as coffee, grains, and other biological products. In addition we offer radio frequency based moisture meters applicable to determining moisture content in such materials as wood.

Karl Fischer Titration

In the 1990's the Company began it's development of instruments that use automatic titration for a moisture test. The Aquapal III represents the current developments of moisture meters that detect small amounts of moisture. This Karl Fischer method of coulometric titration has a wide application for moisture determination and analysis in the power, petroleum, pharmaceutical and plastics industries. In order to serve the need of users of water specific detection equipment, the Company offers a substantial selection of accessories and equipment that deal with the titration of moisture.

On-Line Moisture Measurement and Moisture Control

The moisture detection and moisture analysis test equipment in the loss -on-drying, dielectric and Karl Fischer categories is especially suited for use in a laboratory or at process location. The need for on-line moisture control of a process or production line has has been growing. In 2008, CSC established an affiliation with the Moisture Register Products Division of Aqua Measure Instrument Company in order to offer on-line NIR, microwave and radio frequency moisture analyzers. These instrument are widely used for moisture control in the food, mining, and building materials industries. This link will get you to the On-Line Page.
