FD800 - Advanced Moisture Determination Balances Datasheet

The FD800 is the premier moisture balance in our product line. It is controlled by a revolutionary dual temperature sensor method which provides unsurpassed accuracy and precision - - even on products that have historically created problems for loss on drying methods.

A conventional moisture balance measures the ambient temperature within the drying chamber and then regulates heating based on that measured value. While this control method historically provided good measurement, various factors, including environmental temperature, sample depth and particle size, as well as samples that are easily scorched have caused problems in many cases. In addition to a thermistor measuring this ambient temperature, the FD800 includes a non-contact infrared sensor to continually monitor the temperature of the sample moisture. The dual-mode measurement allows the user to optimize the heating profile of the FD800 to match the sample characteristics, reducing drying time while eliminating the chance of sample deformation or scorching.
