By using mobile moisture meters, the water content of many bulk materials can be measured. The measurement result is shown on the display immediately after filling the sample or piercing a lance. By piercing or filling the samples, the material is not changed and can be added to the production process again after the measurement (non-destructive water content determination).
The majority of moisture meters are used to check product quality. Here, quality assurance by means of random sample measurements is used during production or further processing. Another core application of moisture meters is the determination of the water content upon delivery of the raw material (incoming goods inspection).
If a moisture measurement system that is permanently installed in the process is used in the production plant, the use of a moisture measuring device enables rapid verification of the calibration. Moisture sensors that continuously measure the water content in production are calibrated to the product before installation or directly in the production process to the product and the process.
