GRAIN MOISTURE METER FD-660 is good for Humans and Environment New model FD-660, This unit determines the moisture and solid contents of samples by heating them using infrared illumination and measuring changes in mass due to evaporation. This is referred to as the loss on drying method and is the simplest method for determining moisture content and thus mandated by many public regulations related to measurement standard. Organic carbon heater An organic carbon heater is s used for the heat source. This heater emits infrared rays that are more than 2 times stronger than a halogen lamp in the wavelength range (2.5 to 3μm) in which moisture reacts with heat. This feature provides extremely efficient drying. It is approximately 4 times the life of heater a comparable conventional infrared lamp. In addition, it is better for the environment as polluting halides and metals are not used. Pre Heat mode / Auto tare mechanisum This product is equipped with a Pre Heat mode to eliminate measurement error occurring immediately after turning on the power or when the temperature inside the measuring instrument is not stable. Auto tare is also incorporated in the FD-660. This feature allows for measurements while performing a zero point calibration, and therefore, scale drift is eliminated even when a test is performed over a long period of time. This feature allows for reliable measurement.
