Infrared Moisture Balance: Direct Reading, No Conversion Tables
A self-contained loss-on-drying moisture balance with a built-in precision balance. Dries a 5-gram sample under an infrared lamp and reads moisture content directly from 0 to 100% on its own scale.
$1,895.00
The FD1B combines a 185-watt infrared drying lamp with a built-in precision balance, reading moisture loss directly from 0 to 100% without conversion tables. A 5-gram sample dries under the lamp while the balance tracks weight loss, and the result is read straight off the moisture scale.
The FD1B is no longer manufactured. The current Kett moisture balance is the FD720 Universal Moisture Balance, which adds programmable drying modes, a digital display, and data output in a compact benchtop unit. Contact Kett for service options or help selecting a current model.
