moisture balance

FD800 Advanced Moisture Balance – Premier Dual-Sensor Technology The FD800 is the premier moisture balance in our product line. It is controlled by a revolutionary dual temperature sensor method providing unsurpassed accuracy even on products that have historically created problems for Loss on Drying (LOD) methods.

• Prevents Sample Scorching: A non-contact infrared sensor (T2) continually monitors the sample's actual surface temperature, automatically adjusting heat to prevent burning or deformation.
• Accelerated Drying Times: By tracking both ambient and surface temperatures, the FD800 safely boosts initial drying until a setpoint is met, reducing cycle time by up to 50%.
• Superior Precision: Utilizes a Unibloc balance for extreme stability and a 25,000-hour MTBF Mid-Infrared Quartz heater for years of zero-maintenance use.

  Unique innovative design minimizes the chance of scorching a test sample. A traditional temperature sensors automatically controls the drying temperature. A second, separate infrared temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of the sample. If the temperature approaches a level that would scorch or burn the sample, the drying temperature is automatically adjusted downward. This avoids scorching and bad test results. Both temperature settings are customer selectable. Using high speed quartz heating elements, the FD800 provides unsurpassed direct LOD drying and full ISO compliance. The large pan (almost 5" in diameter) and large sample capacity (up to 120 grams) allows heterogeneous samples to be accurately tested. Also, homogenous samples may be quickly dried by spreading them on the large heating tray. Quartz heating elements provide 3-5 times the life of halogen competitors, while providing the same fast start-up times. This provides a lower total cost of ownership without any productivity sacrifice. Direct connect connections interface to almost any Microsoft Office application for smoother data capture and ISO compliance. See: FD800 for the brochure.
