Halogen Moisture Analyzer HR73-P: Precision and Efficiency in Moisture Measurement
The HR73-P from Mettler Toledo is a high-quality halogen moisture analyzer designed to provide rapid and precise determination of moisture content across a wide range of samples. This device operates on the thermogravimetric principle: it first accurately weighs the sample, then heats it quickly using an integrated halogen drying unit. This process causes the moisture in the sample to vaporize, and the device continuously measures and displays the weight loss due to moisture evaporation. Once drying is complete, the HR73-P delivers a final, precise reading of the sample’s moisture content or dry substance.
One of the HR73-P’s major advantages is its heating system. Compared to conventional infrared heaters or drying ovens, the halogen drying unit reaches its maximum power more quickly and allows for the use of higher temperatures. This results in significantly shorter drying times, enhancing efficiency without compromising measurement accuracy. The system’s ability to uniformly heat sample materials ensures consistent and reproducible results, even with small sample sizes, making it an ideal choice for environments where precision and repeatability are crucial.
Customization options are extensive with the HR73-P, allowing users to preselect all relevant parameters, such as drying temperature and drying time, to tailor the process to the specific needs of each sample type. The device features an integrated methods database with 20 customizable methods that can be easily optimized and activated at the touch of a button, simplifying laboratory workflows and minimizing the risk of operational errors.
The versatility of the HR73-P is also evident in its flexible result display options and comprehensive data recording capabilities. Users can choose from various result display formats, and all settings and measurement results can be securely stored within the device. This is particularly valuable in environments prone to power interruptions, as the built-in rechargeable battery ensures that all data remains intact, preserving the integrity of critical measurements.
The HR73-P is an intuitive and user-friendly device. A status display guides users through each step of the measurement cycle, providing real-time updates on the process, which reduces the risk of operational errors and makes the instrument accessible to both novice and experienced users.
For routine operations where safety and consistency are crucial, the HR73-P offers a keypad lock function, limiting access to essential controls only. This prevents accidental modifications to critical settings, ensuring consistent results across multiple users. Additionally, the motorized and automatic sample chamber further enhances ease of use, operating smoothly similar to a compact disc (CD) player.
The HR73-P also supports automation capabilities. Its motorized mechanism and standard LocalCAN universal interface make it compatible with automated workflows, including robotic sample loading, which is ideal for high-throughput environments.
At the heart of the HR73-P is superior measurement quality that meets the rigorous standards expected from Mettler Toledo, the global leader in precision weighing technology.
