A moisture balance, also called a moisture analyzer, measures the amount of moisture in a substance. This is particularly helpful in food processing labs as the amount of moisture can be an indicator of freshness and quality for some foods. These analyzers are also commonly used in environmental, pharmaceutical, and materials science labs. There are several techniques that may be used to measure moisture. Some techniques used include measuring water vapor released following combustion of the sample, measuring the difference in weight after removal of moisture from the sample, and measuring the equilibrium of water vapor of the sample in a closed system. Some things to take into consideration when purchasing a moisture balance include capacity, precision, speed, method of measurement, software, and whether the samples to be measured come in solid or liquid form.

Our Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer has been specially developed for light and bulky Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer for light and bulky materials / weighing range 400 g / adjustable heating temperature / 4-inch LC display / 4-digit device ID / large drying pan / software (optional)
Our Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer has been specially developed for light and bulky materials. It has an exceptionally large drying pan and is suitable for applications in the fields of raw material extraction, production, processing, research and recycling.
With a maximum weighing capacity of 400 g, a volume of 360 cm³ and a high measuring resolution of 0.001 g, the Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer enables precise and reliable moisture measurements. The balance works according to the principle of drying with simultaneous weighing: the weight loss is continuously recorded and displayed as a percentage of the total mass. With a heater output of 2 x 250 W and an adjustable heating temperature of 40 °C to 220 °C, the Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer offers quick and flexible drying of samples. The device provides various parameters for analysis, including % moisture, % dry matter, % moisture bd as well as g residual weight/kg and residual weight.
The practical functions include an automatic power-off function that stops the drying process when the constant weight is reached. This can be flexibly set to three criteria: sampling start, sampling interval and weight loss per sampling interval. A timer with an adjustable duration of 1 to 180 minutes is also available. A menu lock protects the parameters against unintentional adjustment; the menu can be locked by PIN whereas the CAL menu item remains accessible. The balance offers up to 9 programme memory locations for easy handling of drying profiles. Data is output via an RS-232 interface or a USB connection. Optional software is available for transferring data to a PC. GLP-compliant documentation is carried out using the Data Bridge software as the balance does not have an integrated printer. However, an external printer can be purchased separately to output the measurement data directly. A 4-digit device ID also enables the unique allocation of the measurement data.
The Moisture Analyser / Moisture Analyzer is ideal for applications in the wood, agricultural and plastics industries, e.g. for shavings, animal feed or granulates. It delivers precise results even at very low moisture contents.... Read More | The Damp Meter is used in various building materials such as concrete, wood, screed, plaster, walls, and other materials and is particularly suitable for construction, renovation, or craft work where the moisture content must be reliably determined. The measuring range of the device is 0 to 100 The Damp Meter is used in various building materials such as concrete, wood, screed, plaster, walls, and other materials and is particularly suitable for construction, renovation, or craft work where the moisture content must be reliably determined. The measuring range of the device is 0 to 100 digits, with a high resolution of 0.1 digits, so that even the smallest changes in moisture can be detected. The Damp Meter works non-destructively and measures the moisture content at a depth of 20 to 40 mm / 0.8 to 1.6 in without damaging the surface of the material. The measurement results are displayed both numerically and analogously on an easy-to-read 2.4-inch LCD display, the backlighting of which can be switched off if required. For easy evaluation of the moisture content, the Damp Meter has DRY, RISK, and WET modes, whose limit values can be set individually. It also offers practical measurement functions such as HOLD for holding values and MAX/MIN for recording maximum and minimum values. The integrated capacitive sensor ensures precise measurements, while the automatic switch-off after 30 minutes conserves the lithium battery. Charging is convenient via USB-C.
Thanks to its compact design and low weight, the Damp Meter is ideal for mobile use on construction sites, for construction supervision, or for assessing water damage. Craftsmen, site managers, or renovation specialists can use the device to quickly and reliably determine the moisture content in wood, concrete, screed, plaster, and other building materials. The Damp Meter thus offers a professional solution for anyone who needs precise, non-destructive moisture measurements....
