Q1: How does a moisture meter work?
Q2: The portable moisture detector is composed of a capacitance sensor, C/V conversion circuit, A/D converter and LCD digital display circuit. After the capacitance sensor is scooped into the tested grain, the medium is a variety of different grains tested. Since the dielectric constant of water is much larger than that of general substances, a small change in the measured grain water content will cause a large change in the capacitance of the sensor. Through the C/V conversion circuit and A/D converter, the LCD digital circuit directly shows the percentage of the measured grain water content.
Q1: What are the types of moisture meters?
A2: A moisture meter (moisture tester) is a measuring instrument for moisture content that can quickly determine the moisture content of a substance. Commonly used moisture meters include chemical moisture meters, paper moisture meters, infrared moisture meters, grain moisture meters, building materials moisture meters, mortar moisture meters, crack moisture meters, soil moisture meters and wood moisture meters.
Q3: Why need a digital grain moisture meter?
A3: Moisture content is one of the most important indexes in the pricing, quality evaluation and storage of grain purchase. Accurate measurement of water content before grain storage can effectively prevent the adulteration of suppliers. The moisture content measurement of grain before warehousing can effectively grasp the status quo of grain in the storehouse and prevent the occurrence of moldy and bad materials in the storehouse.
A portable grain moisture meter is a high-precision moisture detector, it can be the real-time measurement of the whole package of grain moisture, and can be measured in kinds of grains, including wheat, flax, corn, paddy, and oats.
Tips: Advantages of pin-type moisture meters
Pin-type moisture meters take advantage of the fact that water (containing salts and impurities) conducts electricity and wood does not, which makes it possible to determine the moisture content of wood by measuring the resistance of the current. Dry wood will show greater resistance.
