Frequently asked questions
What is a moisture analyzer and how does it work?
A moisture analyzer (or moisture balance) measures the moisture content in a sample by weighing it before and after a controlled drying process. It calculates moisture as a percentage of the initial mass.
What is the difference between a moisture analyzer and a moisture balance?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A moisture balance is a type of moisture analyzer that combines a precision scale and a heating system to determine moisture content through loss on drying.
What are the benefits of using the Ohaus MB120 moisture analyzer?
The MB120 moisture analyzer is Ohaus’s flagship model. It features halogen heating, advanced method storage, intuitive touchscreen operation, and fast, repeatable results—ideal for high-demand environments.
What is the difference between halogen and carbon fiber heating in moisture analyzers?
Halogen moisture analyzers, like the MB120, use intense radiant heat for fast drying, while carbon fiber heating (found in newer models like MB92 and MB62) provides more uniform heating and energy efficiency with reduced sample scorching.
When should I choose a carbon fiber moisture analyzer over halogen?
If your applications require energy-efficient, consistent heating with less sample degradation, a carbon fiber moisture analyzer like the MB62 or MB92 may be a better fit. They also tend to have longer heating element lifespans.
How accurate are Ohaus moisture analyzers?
Ohaus moisture balances offer readability down to 0.001 g or 0.01%, ensuring precision even in demanding applications. Their intuitive software and built-in method storage enhance reproducibility.
Are moisture analyzers suitable for all sample types?
Yes, but the type of analyzer and heating method should match the sample’s characteristics. Volatile, sticky, or heat-sensitive materials may benefit from specific drying profiles or heating technologies.
Why choose an Ohaus moisture analyzer for your lab or production facility?
Ohaus combines trusted engineering, intuitive operation, and advanced technology in all their moisture analyzers. Whether you’re using the MB120 moisture analyzer or an entry-level unit, you benefit from decades of precision and reliability.
