A moisture balance is a device that uses loss on drying method, also called a thermogravimetric principle, to determine moisture content of a sample. A moisture balance is perfect for measuring moisture in food, pharma, chemical and other industries.
The measurement of moisture in substance is particularly helpful in food processing labs as the amount of moisture can be an indicator of freshness and quality for some foods.
A moisture analyzer determines the moisture content of a sample with the loss on drying method and consists of a weighing and heating unit (infrared).
