Kett introduces the KJT-100, a hand-held near-infrared moisture meter that provides instantaneous, non-contact, non-destructive moisture measurement of both solid and liquid samples.

This portable unit is designed for use in many areas of a company's manufacturing process. These test areas range from field measurements to spot-checks of incoming raw materials, and from vendor audits to final product verification. The KJT-100 operates on either A/C or a battery pack, eliminating the hindrances that have prevented the full-portability of other moisture meters.

Using near-infrared light to measure the absorbance/reflectance of water in a sample, measurements can be taken without sample preparation or damage. Simply focus the light, select the proper calibration channel, and the moisture content is displayed. Measurements can be saved to memory and downloaded to a PC for automated data collection.

"The KJT-100 provides unsurpassed flexibility in moisture measurement when applied to any aspect of a company's operations," said John Bogart, Sales Manager for Kett U.S.. "The time-savings resulting from operation of this unit will allow for the most effective and efficient use of personnel in process monitoring."

The KJT-100 is accurate to 0.1%, and can measure content values ranging between 0.1- 100%. Menu-driven operations provide a simple measurement procedure. Stored data can be down-loaded to a personal computer, lap-top computer, or printer.

Other models available include the KJT-200 tabletop laboratory model, and the KJT-330 production line model. All KJT moisture meters are backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Forty years of research and development have made Kett a worldwide leader in the manufacturing of testing equipment. Other products available include a full line of moisture determination balances, wood and agricultural moisture meters, coating thickness testers, and metal detectors.
