Thanks to revolutionary technology, the Moisture Analyzer operates quickly and dependably. It offers a high level of operating convenience and useful functions to facilitate determination of the moisture content of samples.
The Halogen Moisture Analyzer can be used to determine the moisture content of virtually any substance in practice are the sample heating rate and uniform heating of its surface. The instrument operates on the thermogravimetric principle: At the start of the measurement the Moisture Analyzer determines the weight of the sample, the sample is then quickly heated by the integral halogen dryer unit and the moisture vaporizes. During the drying operation, the instrument continuously determines the weight of the sample and displays the loss of moisture. On completion of drying, the moisture content or dry substance content of your sample is displayed as the final result.
Of decisive importance in practice is the rate of heating. In comparison with conventional infrared heating or the drying oven method, for example, the halogen dryer unit of the instrument needs a shorter time to reach its maximum heating power. It also allows use of high temperatures, an additional factor in shortening the drying time. Uniform heating of the sample material ensures good repeatability of the drying results and makes it possible to use a smaller amount of sample.
All parameters of a measurement (drying temperature, drying time, etc.) can be preselected. But the Moisture Analyzer offers many other possibilities. To avoid exceeding the scope of this introduction, only a few of these arelisted here:
– In the built-in methods database 20 different methods can be individually optimized to suit your samples. They are simple to activate at the touch of a key.
– The drying process can be adjusted to suit the type of sample
– You can choose between various types of result display at any time
– Your settings and the measurement results can be recorded and stored
– Thanks to the built-in rechargeable battery your valuable data remain stored even on power failure.
This wealth of functions notwithstanding, the Moisture Analyzer is very simple to operate. The status display (user guide) guides you step by step through the measurement cycle and you always know which particular stage in a measurement is currently being executed by the instrument and the next operating step. To exclude faulty handling in routine work, the keypad can be locked to prevent access to all but the elementary functions. The motorized, automatic sample chamber offers the operating convenience you are familiar with from compact disk (CD) players.
Moreover, the motorized drive opens up new possibilities for automatic operation of the instrument (loading by means of robots) when used with the LocalCAN universal interface installed as standard.
But in addition to every type of user convenience, the quality of the measurement results continues to be of prime importance. The built-in weighing cell meets the high standard which has made METTLER TOLEDO the worldwide market leader in the field of high-resolution precision balances.
