About Moisture Tins
Moisture Tins
To determine moisture contents in soil and other material . These are made from aluminium or stainless steel. In soil machines Permeability is one of the important Engineering properties, as it governs rate of settlement of saturated compressible soil layer and rate of flow of equifer. Permeability is that property of soil which permits flow of water through its interconnecting voids. The instrument to measure permeability is called permeameter. The results are used for pumping groung water, for functioning sites excavations, design of dams etc. Tests can be performed on remoulded or undisturbed samples using constant head or falling head method.
Designed for Laboratory PrecisionOur moisture tins are constructed from high-quality corrosion-resistant metal, providing smooth, polished exteriors for ease of handling and cleaning. Their cylindrical form with a flat base guarantees consistent sample preparation, supporting accurate moisture measurements across various laboratory protocols in soil, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical analysis.
Versatile and Durable for Repeated UseWith the ability to withstand heating up to 250C and full autoclavability, these tins are suited for repeated, rigorous laboratory applications. The option of using them with or without lids further accommodates diverse moisture analysis requirements, while their robust design ensures both longevity and precision.
FAQs of Moisture Tins:
Q: How do you use moisture tins for laboratory moisture determination?
A: To use moisture tins, simply place your prepared sample inside the tin, record the initial weight, and then subject it to the designated heating method. After cooling, reweigh the tin to calculate the moisture content. Their design supports most standard laboratory protocols.
Q: What types of samples are suitable for these moisture tins?
A: These moisture tins are ideal for analyzing moisture in soil, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical samples, thanks to their robust design and compatibility with common laboratory heating and sterilization techniques.
Q: When should I use the moisture tin with a lid versus without?
A: Use the moisture tin with a lid when minimizing sample contamination or evaporation is crucial, especially for volatile samples. For standard drying methods in ovens, the lid may be omitted for optimal airflow.
Q: Where can I safely use these moisture tins?
A: These tins are appropriate for laboratory settings, such as analytical, environmental, agricultural, and quality control labs, where accurate moisture determination is vital.
Q: What is the process for sterilizing the moisture tins?
A: The tins can be sterilized using an autoclave. Simply clean and dry the tins thoroughly after use, then place them in the autoclave to ensure they are free from contaminants for reuse.
Q: What benefits do these moisture tins offer over disposable alternatives?
A: Our moisture tins are reusable, corrosion-resistant, and designed for consistent accuracy. This makes them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for routine laboratory moisture analysis.
