Moisture Determination System (Oven Dry Method) An instrument to scientifically evaluate the moisture content of a given substrate such an paper, board, or any other material in powder or leafy form. Confirms to TAPPI T - 412 Consists of an 400 watts Drying Oven with a microprocessor controlled digital temperature indicator-cum-controller capable of maintaining the internal temperature at 105 ± 2 °C. with free circulation of air. To be used with a Digital Balance of high accuracy (0.01 gram or better). Significance : Moisture is significant for economic reasons and for its effect on such properties as printability, shrinkage, dimensional stability, physical strength, and paper runnability. Instant Moisture Meters (Portable / Handheld) and Digital Moisture Analyzers (Automatic) are also available. This equipment is relevant to : Paper Mills. Carton Manufacturers. Heavy End-Users of Paper and Cartons. General Industry. Research Institutions. Packaging Development centers.
