The laboratory balance has a measuring range of 0 ... 100% absolute humidity. The laboratory balance is operated via the 5" large touchscreen. To measure the moisture content with the laboratory balance, a sample is evenly distributed on the sample pan. The sample pan is then placed and sealed in the laboratory balance. After setting all parameters, the laboratory balance begins the measurement.

The laboratory balance determines the moisture content based on the measured weight difference, relative to the weight before and after drying the sample. The adjustable temperature range for the laboratory balance is between 40 ... 165 °C. Thus, a specific drying temperature for the sample can be selected with the laboratory balance. The generated drying temperature is produced by a built-in halogen lamp with a diameter of 90 mm.

The drying process of the sample makes the laboratory balance usable in various fields. Thus, the laboratory balance finds its application, for example, in laboratories to measure the moisture of different powders, in quality control to determine the moisture of granules, or on farms to determine the moisture content of oats, grains, or wheat.

A major advantage over devices using capacitive measuring methods is that the laboratory balance operates independently of characteristic curves and provides more accurate results.

The measured values can be transferred to a PC via the Serial RS232 interface of the laboratory balance for analysis. A suitable software is available optionally for the laboratory balance. If required, the laboratory balance can be supplied with an ISO calibration certificate.
