1.3 What is a Moisture Analyzer? (cont.)
Of particular importance in practice is the rate of heating. In comparison with conventional infrared
heating or the drying oven method, for example, the halogen dryer of your instrument needs a shorter
time to reach its maximum heating power. It also allows the use of high temperatures; an additional
factor in shortening the drying time. Response times for the control of production are shorter resulting in
increased productivity.
All parameters of a measurement (drying temperature, drying time, etc.) can be pre-selected. The
Moisture Analyzer offers many other possibilities. A few of these are listed here:
— The integrated database for drying procedures stores the settings for your samples.
— The drying characteristics can be matched to the type of sample.
— You can choose between various types of result displays at any time.
— Your settings and measurement results can be recorded and stored.
— Built-in battery backup stores valuable data during a power failure.
Even though the Moisture Analyzer contains many functions, operation remains simple. The three button
controls on the front panel: Test Menu, Display and Setup allows entry into a variety of displays which
includes a test library where previous samples are recorded along with the test parameters so that a
similar sample can be run without the need to enter all new data. There are additional displays which
indicate the test ID number, selected temperature, actual temperature, time, initial weight and moisture
content in percent, solids in percent, grams or custom unit, % regain and a graphical display which
illustrates the time and percentage.
Your Moisture Analyzer conforms with all common standards and directives. It supports standard
procedures, work techniques and records as required by GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) and SOP
(Standard Operating Procedure). We recommend the use of the OHAUS AS-142 Printer. Your Moisture
Analyzer has a CE declaration of conformity and OHAUS is registered to ISO 9001 - Quality Management
System.
