How does the HE53 measure moisture?
It weighs the sample during halogen drying and calculates moisture content from the loss of mass.
What is the maximum sample capacity?
The instrument has a maximum capacity of 54 g. Use the sample mass specified by your method.
What drying temperature can I set?
Select 50–160 °C in 1 °C increments.
What are its drying and switch-off options?
The HE53 offers Standard and Rapid programs, with one automatic switch-off criterion or timed operation from 1 to 120 minutes.
What is the difference between readability and repeatability?
Readability is 0.01% MC. The manufacturer gives repeatability of 0.15% MC for a 2 g sample and 0.05% MC for a 10 g sample under its test conditions.
Can I connect a printer?
The HE53 has an RS232 interface for compatible printers. Confirm the printer and cable for your setup.
