Precision moisture analysis instruments for moisture testing for in-service lubricants

A Chemical-Free Alternative to Karl Fischer. Accurate control of moisture in lubricating oils is critical to keeping your most important machines in optimal condition, but historically there have been few good options for measuring moisture content. The “crackle test” is easy, but not accurate enough to keep modern machines running at their best. Karl Fischer titration is very accurate, but difficult to use, expensive to operate, and requires hazardous chemical reagents.

Precision moisture analysis instruments for rapid solids analysis for paints and coatings

Safely analyze solvent- and non-solvent-based coatings. Your customers rely on your paints and coatings to keep their assets safe from their environments. You can rely on Computrac® to provide accurate, reliable readings in minutes on solids and ash content for your products. Computrac Moisture, Solids and Ash analyzers can be used in ASTM method D7323-06, and can be correlated to other test methods, including D2369, and D5095. Further, Computrac® is the ONLY rapid loss-on-drying analyzer with Nitrogen...

Precision moisture analysis instruments for rapid solids testing for pulp and paper

Durable, reliable analysis for black liquor. Black liquor is a difficult substance to work with. It’s caustic, it’s toxic, and it emits poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide. But the efficient use of black liquor is critical to the profitable operation of any pulp and paper mill. In order to use black liquor efficiently, you need to test it for solids. Make sure your solids analyzer is up to the task.

Precision moisture analysis instruments for rapid moisture and ash testing for pharmaceuticals

Accurate results for tablets, granulations, and lyophilized samples. Accurate moisture control in pharmaceuticals is critical to maximize shelf life, tableting performance, and API effectiveness. When it comes to moisture, trust Computrac, the leader in the field for over 30 years. The Computrac line of moisture, solids and ash analyzers is precise enough for the lab, rugged enough for the production floor, and flexible enough to handle nearly any application.

Precision moisture analysis instruments for rapid moisture analysis for plastics

Reduce rejected product and wasted material. Nozzle drool. Impaired physical properties. Silver streaks and other cosmetic blemishes. If the moisture content in a resin is too high at processing time, you’re likely to end up with a costly, unusable mess. And as the materials science behind plastics continues to improve, resulting in stronger, lighter, and more durable resins, accurate moisture measurement and control will only become more critical. A moisture analyzer is an indispensable piece of equipment...

Precision moisture analysis instruments for fast, accurate solids analysis for wastewater

Computrac moisture, solids and ash analyzers are able to quickly and easily determine solids content of cakes, slurries and sludge samples for the wastewater, hazardous waste and landfill industries.
