Halogen Moisture Analyzer - LCD Moisture Balance with RS232 - 110 g, 40-199°C

The Master Science Halogen Moisture Analyzer combines a halogen heater with a precision weighing cell to give the moisture content or dry residue of a sample as a percentage. The housing is aluminium and the drying chamber is stainless steel, so the unit stands up to daily use on a production or laboratory bench.

Four versions are available, all with 110 g capacity, reading to 0.01 g, 0.005 g, 0.002 g or 0.001 g. On each Master Science Halogen Moisture Analyzer the drying temperature is set from 40 to 199°C in 1°C steps and the time from 1 to 99 minutes, and results appear on a white-backlit LCD with black characters.

Common Problems This Analyzer Solves

Conventional oven drying leaves several gaps that this instrument closes.

• Long waits for oven results:: heating and weighing happen in one chamber.
• Re-entering the same method every time:: up to 15 settings are stored.
• Hand-copied results:: RS232 output connects to a printer or computer.
• Housings that corrode or dent:: aluminium shell and stainless steel chamber.
