These low cost instruments still provide great versatility as they allow customers to calibrate them for specific, if unique applications. The instrument comes with a generic calibration allowing you to immediately get relative moisture measurements. A variety of probes are available to assist with customized measurement requirement; Measurements are instant and non-destructive. Simply select the calibration, place the probe onto the solid and press the measurement button. The display immediately provides your moisture value. A Near-Infrared Light Source is reflected off the liquid or solid sample. The light resonates with the appropriate molecule(s) and a portion of the light is absorbed. The higher the measured component, the higher the amount of absorbed light. After calibration, the composition values can be instantly measured without sample preparation. Calibrations and calibration points are stored within the analyzers, providing tremendous versatility for the diversified manufacturer. Moisture, protein, fat, cellulose and other organic compounds can be measured.
| Industry | Application | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Moisture in composite blocks | Ability to input calibrations allows manufacturer to get accurate readings on proprietary products |
| Pulp/Paper | Particle Board and Plywood | Any composite or layered material can be measured instantly - without any sample alteration or preparation |
| Building Materials | Drywall | Easy assessment of product quality. Can also be used for mold location identification and leak detection without harming the product surface in any way. |
