The Glass Fiber Sheet

The Glass Fiber Sheetssss

Use the glass fiber sheet to measure the moisture content

that is included in the following samples. When this sheet is
used, vaporization of moisture is speeded up and moisture
measurement result becomes quick and precise.

This accessory (AX-MX-32-1) is a package of 100 glass fiber sheets.

This accessory is inclued in the packing for MS-70, MX-50 and MF-50.

Purchase this accessory by your order for ML-50.

Use the glass fiber sheet (AX-MX32-1) for high surface tension liquid sample.

Example 1 : "Liquid Sample" Or "Meltable Sample"

When the glass fiber sheet is used for these measurements, moisture is more apt to

vaporize because of expanding the surface area and space. And the glass fiber
sheet has the effect of preventing a surface film from forming at drying process.

A sample including a lot of moisture

: Milk, yogurt, soybean milk, condensed milk, ketchup, resin, liquid paste, hand soap, etc.

A sample that melts and adheres to the sample pan.

Example: Chewing gums, caramel, hony, etc.

Procedure

Procedure (Preparation before heating)

(Preparation before heating)

1 Put the glass fiber sheet on the sample pan.

Press

the

RESET

key to display zero.

3 Soak the sample into the glass fiber sheet or put the

sample on the glass fiber sheet.

Press

the

START

key to start the measurement.

Example 2 : "If The Sample's Surface Is Apt To Carbonize"

When the sample is covered with a glass fiber sheet, carbonization of the sample surface

decreases. Therefore the measurement result becomes repeatable and precise.

A sample including a lot of sugar, protein and oil

Example:

Hony, soybean powder, green tea leaves, cookies, etc.

A sample that has dark surface and is apt to carbonize

Example: Coffee, peanuts, etc.
