Conclusion
The new halogen-powered moisture analyser significantly reduces the drying time for testing concrete additives from over an hour to just a few minutes.
Supporting Evidence
- The HR73 can test samples in as little as 3 minutes compared to 8 hours with a conventional oven.
- The instrument can store methods for up to 20 substances.
Takeaway
A new machine can test wet concrete additives much faster than older machines, making it easier to check their quality.
Methodology
The HR73 instrument uses halogen technology to heat samples quickly and measure moisture content accurately.
