If materials are to be used in a process, such as ceramics or concrete manufacture, it is also usually important to know the moisture content before, during and after the process.
The Microspear is used for the fast and accurate water content measurement of bulk materials for industry.
The instrument measures moisture and temperature of minerals and building materials at depths up to six feet (nearly 2 metres) - simply by insertion. The digital readings are shown instantly. It has a built-in computer which gives it the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials and water contents.
Operation Simply insert and read the display.
The key to the Microspear is the streamlined sensor known for its shape as the warhead. This robust and accurate sensor can penetrate many feet into large loads, which is particularly important as water usually settles in the most inaccessible lower parts of the bulk. The reading is made instantaneously, allowing large quantities of material to be rapidly tested. An 'Averager' facility provides a single reading for the whole of the bulk.
Features
- The ability to rapidly and accurately measure the moisture content of hundreds of tons of material.
- There is no sampling, use of chemicals, balances or ovens.
- Used in any environment where minerals or building materials are being shipped, stored or processed.
With thousands of users in many industries around the world, the simplicity, speed of use and accuracy have made the Microspear the perfect instrument for bulk moisture measurement.
