2 GENERAL INFORMATION
The
Seedburo Model 1200D
®
Digital Moisture Tester
is an automatic,
electronic instrument designed for the determination of moisture in
cereal crops and in a wide variety of other products. An outside scale is
required with accuracy of plus or minus .5 grams for weighing the
sample.
The official Grain Standards of the United States specifies that the
percentage of moisture shall be ascertained by:
(a)
the use of the air-oven method, or
(b)
any device and method which gives equivalent results.
The
Seedburo Model 1200D
®
Digital Moisture Tester
is outstanding in
providing this equivalency quickly and accurately. The instrument
determines the quantity of moisture in the grain sample by evaluating
changes in its electrical characteristics due to the presence of moisture.
Using internally stored calibration data, this change is automatically
displayed as percent moisture.
