Halogen Moisture Analyser
Lead Time: 2-3 Weeks
A halogen moisture analyser is a laboratory instrument that measures the moisture content of a sample by heating it with a halogen lamp while continuously weighing it to determine moisture loss.
It is a fast and efficient tool used across industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals for quality control.
How it works
- A sample is placed on a weighing pan and its initial “wet weight” is recorded.
- A halogen lamp, which acts as a heat source, quickly heats the sample.
- The analyzer continuously measures the sample’s weight as the moisture evaporates.
- Once the sample reaches a stable “dry weight,” the measurement is complete, and the instrument automatically calculates the moisture content as a percentage.
Halogen Moisture Analyser Key benefits
- Speed:
Halogen heating is fast, leading to rapid analysis times compared to traditional oven drying methods.
- Accuracy:
The method is precise, providing reliable results for a wide range of materials.
- User-friendly:
Modern analyzers are designed with intuitive interfaces and on-screen guidance for simple operation.
- Efficiency:
It combines the functions of a balance and a dryer in one compact unit.
