Product Description
Aluminum moisture pan for use with Adamlab (AMB Series, PMB202, PMB53), Mettler (MJ33, HR43,HR83,HR63), Sartorius (MA30, MA35, MA45, MA50, MA100. MA150), Ohaus (MB23, MB25, MB35, MB45) Denver (IR35, IR-60, IR120) and HFT-2000
Use these oil-free general purpose aluminum drying pan for most dryers and moisture balances. Aluminum moisture pan equivalent with Mettler Toledo's part 13865. The 26008 moisture pan fits the AdamLab AMB and PMB Series Moisture balances and many of the older Mettler, Sartorius, and Denver Instruments moisture balances. This 4 inch diameter aluminum moisture pan could also be used in additional moisture determination processes using a drying oven verses a moisture balance.
These pans have no oil residue and no vinyl coating to create contamination problems. The smooth bottom facilitates sample handling. Crimped walls increase rigidity. Moisture pan can withstand temperatures up to 1250 °F. Wrapped in packs of 50; case of 500 pieces.
We always recommend people purchase moisture pans that are oil free aluminum and provide even temperature across the pan.
Some people believe that they can reuse the pans but this is never recommended. Although you might clean off the pan the stains leave material from your last test or even moisture when you attempted to clean the pan. Others believe they can use a piece of aluminum foil paper but this isn't always smooth and creates crinkles and thus uneven drying. Always, always, always use a new moisture pan for each test.
Glass fiber pads distribute the heat better, prevents skinning over (this is when bubbles form).
The fiber pads are binder-free borosilicate glass fiber and therefore contain no binders (no foreign materials) or inert.
Slurry samples or when test times are long the sample skins over, bubbles up or splatters when the moisture testing is running, we recommend using filter pads with the moisture pans.
For testing liquids the pads are a must. Place the moisture pan and pad on the moisture balance, adjust the setting time to zero so the moisture analyzer is in auto mode and run the test with no sample on the pad. Many times the fiber pads can hold up to 2% moisture and this preps the pan and fiber pad to be moisture free and only takes typically 1 minute with most moisture analyzer.
Now with the dry filter pads if you are working with a liquidity substance 70% water or more place the sample with an eye dropper, syringe or pipette is a spiral pattern and then cover with the filter pad.
For slurries and anything with bumps and chucks like corn slurry we recommend using two pads making like a sandwich (bottom pad - test sample - top pad). Place the pan on the moisture balance and then place one pad on your table and then using a syringe or spoon apply the sample to the pad in a spiral pattern and now cover with a second pad. Slightly squish the sandwich you just made to break up any chucks and the filter pads will absorb the moisture. Now place the two pads with your sample sandwiched in-between and run your test. You'll find more consistent and repeatable rest using the two pads.
