So you've probably heard about grain moisture testers and are curious about how they work. How it can detect grain moisture content. Moisture testers are electronic devices that detect or calculate the amount of water present in a given object. Moisture testers are percentage testers that measure the amount of water in the air.
Grain Moisture Testers |
Grain
moisture testers, like all moisture testers, are calibrated instruments, with
different calibrations depending on the grain moisture tester. It also has a
crystal display that shows important data like the moisture percentage. There
are five indicators in total:
·
The current
temperature around the grain is indicated by a temperature indicator.
·
A relative humidity
indicator that shows how humid it is right now around the grain
·
A moisture content
indicator that shows how much moisture is in the air right now
· A stability
indicator that shows that the moisture reading is stable is a selected grain an indicator that indicates the crop that has been chosen for measurement
What
exactly does an accurate moisture tester entail?
By
measuring the resistance to the flow of electricity, every moisture tester
determines whether the grain is dry or wet. Water, as we all know, is an
excellent conductor of electricity. As a result, the lower the resistance, the
more water in grain, and the higher the resistance, the less water in grain.
This is then converted into percentage readings. It's either dropped in a pile
of grains or has a section where you can drop a few grains in to see if it's
working. The Koster Moisture Tester is a useful and practical piece of farm
equipment. It's easy to use and provides direct percentage readings of Dry
Matter and Moisture content in dry grain, high moisture grain, hay, silage, and
other materials. Contact for more information.
