Moisture Analyser Suppliers in Darwin

If you need to know the moisture content of something – anything – a moisture analyser is a tried-and-true way to do it. These simple, but reliable devices allow product developers, researchers and scientists from all kinds of industries to accurately measure the moisture content of all manner of substances via a small representative sample. The sample is placed in the moisture analyser and weighed in an analytical balance. It is then heated to dry it out and weighed again to determine the moisture content. 

Why is moisture content so important? Well, for the food industry alone it’s critical. Too much moisture in a manufactured solid or semi-solid product compromises taste, shelf life and general consistency. Too little moisture and products become overly dry. 

It’s a balancing act and that’s possibly why moisture analysers are also called moisture balances. It’s the same for pharmaceutical companies manufacturing drugs. It’s the same for oil and gas companies trying to get the moisture balance right in natural gases and crude oils.
