The instrument is directly calibrated in percentage of moisture between 0% & 100%. The Model 'A' uses approximately 5 gms. Of the material, Model 'B' uses approximately 10 gms. Material and Model 'C' uses approximately 25 gms. Of test materials. Modification of Model A to B or C or vice versa is also possible. The aluminium pans are cheap and are disposable, This helps avoid loss of time which otherwise would be spent each time to clean the pans after the experiment is done. Temperature Control can be achieved using either a Digital Temperature Controller or Variac or Solid State Dimmer. The features of the Digital Temperature Controller include a soft start feature and gradual heating to avoid charring the test sample. A built-in timer switches On when the desired temperature is achieved to maintain it till the time set by the user. An audible alarm is also provided to inform the user about the end of the experiment. This avoids the constant presence of the user near the instrument.
Alternately a rotating 2 Ampere Variac can also be used to maintain the temperature
