How does the Grain Moisture Meter measure the grain moisture?
How to measure the moisture content in grain? Currently on the market, a quick grain moisture analyzer is often used for determination. Grain Moisture Meter is a kind of seed inspection equipment, the instrument adopts advanced microcomputer technology for information processing, and is mainly used in laboratory research.
As for why the moisture content in grain should be measured, it needs to be understood from the relationship between moisture and grain. Moisture is one of the important chemical components in grain. It not only affects the physiological changes of grain grains, but also affects the processing, storage and production of grain food. If the moisture content is too high, the food is not easy to store, and it is easy to heat and mildew, which will change the quality of the food. However, if the water content in the food is appropriate, it can ensure the smooth progress of food processing and food production and product quality. Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, the moisture content of grain should be 13-14%. The grains put into storage must strictly follow the moisture content required by the national quality standards, and must not exceed the value required by the standards.
It can be seen that the detection of grain moisture elements is essential, and the moisture content of grain can be measured with scientific instruments, which can avoid the inaccurate estimation of grain moisture content caused by traditional methods such as grasping and biting. At present, there are many kinds of moisture analyzers in the market, such as infrared moisture analyzers, dew point moisture analyzers, microwave moisture analyzers, coulometric moisture analyzers, and grain moisture rapid analyzers. The role of moisture detection instruments in the grain market is becoming more and more prominent, mainly used for field seeds (rice, soybean, wheat, rapeseed, corn, barley, indica, rice, etc.), vegetable seeds (tomato seeds, eggplant seeds, leeks, etc.) Seeds, radish seeds, cowpea seeds, rapeseed, etc.) and other food crops moisture detection.
As for how the AR991 Grain Moisture Meter measures the grain moisture, the specific usage method is as follows:
First, press the power button to turn on the machine, open the cover of the main machine, then put the measurement sample into the blanking tube until the lower edge of the funnel is flat; Press the OK key, lightly press the drop switch, so that all the samples are evenly placed on the measuring sensor, and the moisture value will be displayed after the decimal point flashes several times. After the moisture value is displayed, press the OK key to display the sample weight. Display the temperature of the measured sample, and then press the OK button to return to the moisture display. After the measurement is completed, pour out the sample in the sensor and clean the host with a brush.
