Moisture Balance
Fast and Precise Results Using Gravimetric Moisture Measurement Principle
A moisture balance is a device that uses loss on drying method, also called a thermogravimetric principle, to determine moisture content of a sample. A moisture balance is perfect for measuring moisture in food, pharma, chemical and other industries. Benefit from: accurate results through precise weighing and temperature control; intuitive operation with step-by-step user guidance; robust construction ensuring long instrument life, supported by our global service network.
