Climate precision moisture analyzer with data logger for laboratory, climate and environmental applications as well as aw value measurements.

The simple handling guarantees a cost-saving and error-free measurement of the activity of the water value of food. Simply fill the material into the aw value chamber and close it.

After an appropriate conditioning time (time period until a constant climate in the chamber is reached = moisture equilibrium) the water activity can directly be read off the display of the humimeter RH2 water activity meter.

The time it takes to reach moisture equilibrium depends heavily on the material to be measured and the temperature. Hygroscopic materials such as cornflakes assimilate in a much shorter time than whole corn kernels. In this context, it is important that the samples have the same temperature as the measuring device or the measuring chamber - high temperature differences lead to a longer conditioning time. This material-dependent conditioning time is a physical phenomenon and cannot be shortened artificially. Generally, the conditioning time is from 5 minutes to about an hour.

The moisture equilibrium is achieved when the displayed measuring value is no longer changing for a period of several minutes (e.g. 10 minutes, changes less than 0,002 aw).

  • Lifetime Support

Applications

Precise climate moisture analyser and thermo-hygrometer with data logger, appli- cable for measuring air humidity and temperature, synthetic granules and special material, for laboratory, climate and environment applications and aw-value meas- urements.

Features

The water activity of food indicates the amount of unbound water in a material. This quality factor, also known as the aw value, depends on the water vapor pressure in the material, the current temperature and the water vapor pressure in the environment.

The Humimeter RH2 Water activity meter allows quick and easy determination of water activity. In addition, due to the large sample volume of the water activity measuring chamber, larger quantities can be measured within a short time. This enables a higher number of random samples to be drawn.

Measurable special materials include butter, fruit mixtures, spices, granules, PVC, mushrooms, xylitol or even seasoning.
