3.3.

The moisture analyzer is built using a super hyb rid sensor (S .H .S.) ad opt ed in an

analytical balance. Therefore, the result is more precise and gets greater repeatability .
An analyzer using the S.H.S. has high sensitivity, needs only a sample quantity of a

few grams, and the analysis time becomes shorter.
A 400W halogen lamp is used as the heating source and the temperature on the

sample pan can reach 200°C within two minutes.
There are five analysis modes.

Standard mode..... The moisture content can be obtained with settings of the

Quick mode........... Sample is heated up for approxim ately three mi nutes at 200°C so

The Glass Fibe r Shee tssss

The Glass Fibe r Shee tThe Glass Fiber Sheet

Use the glass fiber sheet to measure the moisture content

that is included in the following samples. When this sheet is
used, vaporization of moisture is speeded up and moisture
measurement result becomes quick and precise.

This accessory (AX-MX-32-1) is a package of 100 glass fiber sheets.

This accessory is inclued in the packing for MS-70, MX-50 and MF-50.

Purchase this accessory by your order for ML-50.

Use the glass fiber sheet (AX-MX32-1) for high surface tension liquid sample.

Example 1 : "Liquid Sample" Or "Meltable Sample"

When the glass fiber sheet is used for these measurements, moisture is more apt to

vaporize because of expanding the surface area and space. And the glass fiber
sheet has the effect of preventing a surface film from forming at drying process.

A sample including a lot of moisture

Milk, yogurt, soybean milk, condensed milk, ketchup, resin, liquid paste, hand soap, etc.

:

A sample that melts and adheres to the sample pan.

Example

: Chewing gums, caramel, hony, etc.

Sodium tartrate dihydrate is used to check the accuracy of measurement for the

analyzer.
As an ideal substance on theory, sodium tartrate dihydrate includes moisture

content of 15.66% in the molecule. But the moisture content may change due to

conditions of storage.
The moisture content of 15.0 to 16.0% is obtained by the method below.
(Unit % is based on wet sample)
Sodium tartrate is contained in food (example : wine). If it may irritate the eyes and

nose, wash with water.
The test sample can not be used repeatedly. Dispose of it as flammable matter.

In case of MS-70 MX-50 and MF-50, test sample is included in these packing list.

In case of ML-50, purchase the test sample of accessory.
Caution A hot sampl e p an m ay cause a n er ror. Allow th e p an t o cool bef ore t he ne xt t est.

12. Calibration

12.12.

The moisture content is calculated with a ratio of wet weight and dried weight.

Therefore, the absolute value of weighing does not influence the calculation of the
moisture content, but it is necessary to get precise weighing for GLP, GMP and ISO.
Use a 20g mass or a 50g mass to calibrate the weighing sensor.

When calibrating th e weighing se nsor, you can output t he calibra tion repo rt adapt ed

to GLP, GMP and ISO.

There is a certified temperature calibrator (accessory AX-MX-43, only for MS-70 and

MX-50) to calibrate the pan temperature for precise temperature control.

When calibrating the temperature, you can output the calibration report adapted to

GLP, GMP and ISO.

The analyzer can store an ID number to be used in the calibration report. The

number can be used for management an d maintenance of the analyzer
