Infrapunaniiskusmõõturid
Infrapunaniiskusmõõturid, also known as infrared moisture meters, are devices used to determine the moisture content of materials. They operate by measuring the amount of infrared radiation that is absorbed or reflected by the sample. Different materials absorb and reflect infrared light differently depending on their water content. By analyzing these spectral differences, the meter can calculate the moisture level. These devices are non-contact, meaning they do not need to physically touch the material being measured, which can be advantageous for delicate or hot samples. They are often used in industries such as agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing for quality control and process monitoring. The technology relies on the principle that water molecules absorb infrared radiation at specific wavelengths. The intensity of this absorption is directly proportional to the amount of water present. Infrapunaniiskusmõõturid typically consist of an infrared light source, a detector, and a processing unit that interprets the signal and displays the moisture content. Calibration is an important step to ensure accurate readings, as different materials and particle sizes can affect the spectral properties. These meters offer a quick and efficient way to assess moisture levels without damaging the sample or requiring extensive preparation.
