Historically moisture was measured by weighing a sample, drying it in an oven for several hours then weighing it again. Then technology brought automatic weighing --direct reading moisture balances that spawned the current range of Loss On Drying (weight loss - LOD) instruments.
There are two units featured on this Page:
- CENCO Moisture Balance
- CSC Digital Moisture Balance
The first of these is the CENCO. This was the grand daddy of automatic LOD instruments.
It measures moisture from 0% to 100% moisture in increments of two tenths of a percent. It will do solids and liquids. It requires a sample size of five grams. The sample is weighed as it is loaded.
This CENCO Moisture Balance is tough and stands up to abuse of environment and untrained operators. There is no need for air conditioned rooms or literate operators to do a moisture analysis. (Order Online)
The next instrument the CSC Digital Moisture Balance provides adjustments that permit optimization of the repeatability - test time compromise.
The CSC Digital Moisture Balance is built to withstand harsh conditions on the production floor. Using electronics to weight the samples and to read and transmit results gives the capability to analyze the moisture drying curve from printer tapes or directly on a computer. This can be used to adjust test parameters for optimum repeatability/time set up.
Running a moisture test with the CSC Digial Moisture Balance is a simple three step operation (1. Tare 2. Load and 3. Start). Production people become competent users in minutes.
Moisture analysis can be made from 0% to 100% moisture at +/_ 0.2% for five gram samples. (Order Online)
