Moisture Analyzer from Mettler Model Type HB 43 - S. The instrument
powers on but and it is working but sometimes after a while it turns
down. We can not fix it so we are selling it for parts as a
non-working condition.
The Halogen Moisture Analyzer is used for determining the moisture
content of almost any substance. The instrument works on the
thermogravimetric principle. At the start of the measurement the
Moisture Analyzer determines the weight of the sample, the sample is
then quickly heated by the integral halogen heating module and the
moisture vaporizes. During the drying process the instrument
continually measures the weight of the sample and displays the
reduction in moisture. Once drying has been completed, the moisture or
solids content of the sample is displayed as the final result. Of
decisive importance in practice is the rate of heating and even
heating of the surface of the sample. In comparison with conventional
infrared heating or the drying oven method, for example, the halogen
heating module of the instrument needs a shorter time to reach its
maximum heating power. It also allows use of high temperatures, an
additional factor in shortening the drying time. Uniform heating of
the sample material ensures good repeatability of the drying results
and makes it possible to use a smaller amount of sample. All
parameters of a measurement (drying temperature, drying time, etc.)
can be preselected. But the Moisture Analyzer offers many other
possibilities. To avoid exceeding the scope of this introduction, only
a few of these are listed here:
– The built-in database contains predefined drying methods for many
products. The parameters of the individual methods can be easily
adjust to suit your needs.
– The drying process can be adjusted to suit the type of sample
– It can be choose between various types of result display
– The settings and the measurement results can be recorded
– The settings are protected even if there is a power failure
– The RS232C data interface fitted as standard allows the moisture
analyzer to communicate with an external printer or with a
computer.
This wealth of functions notwithstanding, the Moisture Analyzer is
very simple to operate. The status display (User Guide) guides you
step by step through the measurement cycle and you always know which
particular stage in a measurement is currently being executed by the
instrument and the next operating step. To exclude faulty handling in
routine work, the keypad can be locked to prevent access to all but
the elementary functions. The Moisture Analyzer conforms with all
common standards and directives. It supports stipulations, work
techniques and result records as demanded by all international quality
assurance systems, e.g. GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), GMP (Good
Manufacturing Practice). The instrument has a CE declaration of
conformity and METTLER TOLEDO as the manufacturer has been awarded ISO
9001 and ISO 14001 certification.
